Exact Solution for Relativistic Two-Body Motion in Dilaton Gravity
We present an exact solution to the problem of the relativistic motion of 2
point masses in dimensional dilaton gravity. The motion of the bodies
is governed entirely by their mutual gravitational influence, and the spacetime
metric is likewise fully determined by their stress-energy. A Newtonian limit
exists, and there is a static gravitational potential. Our solution gives the
exact Hamiltonian to infinite order in the gravitational coupling constant.Comment: 6 pages, latex, 3 figure
Exact Charged 2-Body Motion and the Static Balance Condition in Lineal Gravity
We find an exact solution to the charged 2-body problem in
dimensional lineal gravity which provides the first example of a relativistic
system that generalizes the Majumdar-Papapetrou condition for static balance.Comment: latex,7 pages, 2 figure
Picard-Fuchs Equations and Whitham Hierarchy in N=2 Supersymmetric SU(r+1) Yang-Mills Theory
In general, Whitham dynamics involves infinitely many parameters called
Whitham times, but in the context of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory it
can be regarded as a finite system by restricting the number of Whitham times
appropriately. For example, in the case of SU(r+1) gauge theory without
hypermultiplets, there are r Whitham times and they play an essential role in
the theory. In this situation, the generating meromorphic 1-form of the Whitham
hierarchy on Seiberg-Witten curve is represented by a finite linear combination
of meromorphic 1-forms associated with these Whitham times, but it turns out
that there are various differential relations among these differentials. Since
these relations can be written only in terms of the Seiberg-Witten 1-form,
their consistency conditions are found to give the Picard-Fuchs equations for
the Seiberg-Witten periods.Comment: to be published in J. Math. Phys, revtex, 14 page
Supersymmetric Intersecting Branes in Time-dependent Backgrounds
We construct a family of supersymmetric solutions in time-dependent
backgrounds in supergravity theories. One class of the solutions are
intersecting brane solutions and another class are brane solutions in pp-wave
backgrounds, and their intersection rules are also given. The relation to
existing literature is also discussed. An example of D1-D5 with linear null
dilaton together with its possible dual theory is briefly discussed.Comment: 12 pages, corrected typo, added reference, to appear in Phys. Rev.
