Supersymmetric reduced models with a symmetry based on Filippov algebra

Generalizations of the reduced model of super Yang-Mills theory obtained by replacing the Lie algebra structure to Filippov $n$-algebra structures are studied. Conditions for the reduced model actions to be supersymmetric are examined. These models are related with what we call \{cal N}_{min}=2 super $p$-brane actions.Comment: v3: In the previous versions we overlooked that Eq.(3.9) holds more generally, and missed some supersymmetric actions. Those are now included and modifications including a slight change in the title were made accordingly. 1+18 page

Noncommutative D-Brane in Non-Constant NS-NS B Field Background

We show that when the field strength H of the NS-NS B field does not vanish, the coordinates X and momenta P of an open string endpoints satisfy a set of mixed commutation relations among themselves. Identifying X and P with the coordinates and derivatives of the D-brane world volume, we find a new type of noncommutative spaces which is very different from those associated with a constant B field background.Comment: 11 pages, Latex, minor modification

Momentum Analysis in Strong-field Double Ionization

We provide a basis for the laser intensity dependence of the momentum distributions of electrons and ions arising from strong-field non-sequential double ionization (NSDI) at intensities in the range $I=1-6.5 \times 10^{14} W/cm^2$. To do this we use a completely classical method introduced previously \cite{ho-etal05}. Our calculated results reproduce the features of experimental observations at different laser intensities and depend on just two distinct categories of electon trajectories.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure

BPS States on M5-brane in Large C-field Background

We extensively study BPS solutions of the low energy effective theory of M5-brane in large C-field background. This provides us an opportunity to explore the interactions turned on by C-field background through the Nambu-Poisson structure. The BPS states considered in this paper include the M-waves, the self-dual string (M2 ending on M5), tilted M5-brane, holomorphic embedding of M5-brane and the intersection of two M5-branes along a 3-brane.Comment: 25 pages, reference adde

Aspects of U-duality in BLG models with Lorentzian metric 3-algebras

In our previous paper, it was shown that BLG model based on a Lorentzian metric 3-algebra gives Dp-brane action whose worldvolume is compactified on torus T^d (d=p-2). Here the 3-algebra was a generalized one with d+1 pairs of Lorentzian metric generators and expressed in terms of a loop algebra with central extensions. In this paper, we derive the precise relation between the coupling constant of the super Yang-Mills, the moduli of T^d and some R-R flux with VEV's of ghost fields associated with Lorentzian metric generators. In particular, for d=1, we derive the Yang-Mills action with theta term and show that SL(2,Z) Montonen-Olive duality is realized as the rotation of two VEV's. Furthermore, some moduli parameters such as NS-NS 2-form flux are identified as the deformation parameters of the 3-algebras. By combining them, we recover most of the moduli parameters which are required by U-duality symmetry.Comment: 27 pages, v2: minor correction
