Supersymmetric Brane-Antibrane Systems: Matrix Model Description, Stability and Decoupling Limits


Abstract in English

After reviewing the supertubes and super brane-antibrane systems in the context of matrix model, we look for more general higher-dimensional configurations. For D3-bar{D3}, we find a non-trivial configuration with E cdot B not equal to 0 and describe the worldvolume gauge theory. We present the string probe of D3-bar{D3} system and study the decoupling limits leading to either noncommutative Super-Yang-Mills or NCOS theories with eight supercharges.
