1. Introduction How should we apply string theory to gravitational systems ? What is ‘string cosmology’ ? How should we apply string theory to gravitational systems ? What is ‘string cosmology’ ? → D-brane is thought to be a key to describe well-known gravitational systems via string theory. via string theory.

D-brane  Open string endpoints can stick to D-brane  D-branes carry RR charges X0X0 XX XiXi σ=0 σ=π τ

 Dynamical non-BPS D-brane systems are very important in string theory, (e.g.)  D(2p+1)-brane in type IIA string  D(2p)-brane in type IIB string  D/anti D-brane system (c.f.) BPS D-branes, stable non-BPS D-brane But no one has succeeded in describing the dynamics of non-BPS D-brane.

Non-BPS D-brane system (2) D/anti D-brane system closed string vacuum lower-dimensional D-brane

Importance of dynamical D-brane systems  String theory  Searching for ‘real’ vacuum of string theory  String interaction & dynamics → non-perturbative string theory → non-perturbative string theory  Gravitation & Cosmology  D-brane inflation  Black hole evaporation → Application to physics at Planck scale → Application to physics at Planck scale

Trials to dynamical D-brane systems  Via ‘non-perturbative’ string theory  Open string field theory (A.Sen, …)  Closed string field theory (Asakawa, SK &Matsuura (’03), …)  Via conformal field theory  Logarithmic CFT description (Asakawa, Ishimoto, SK & Matsuura, work in progress)

Trials to dynamical D-brane systems  Via low-energy effective theory (Zhou & Zhu (‘99), Ohta & Yokono (‘02) Brax, Mandal & Oz (‘01))  Time-dependent solutions have not found yet.  Stable BPS solution → OK black p-branes : Today’s theme black p-branes : Today’s theme  Non-BPS solution → ?

2. Black p-brane  Classical solution of SUGRA  It has same symmetry, charge and mass as a D-brane → Low-energy description of a D-brane. But no one has proved. → Low-energy description of a D-brane. But no one has proved.  (Non-BPS black p-branes have not been found yet)

3. Boundary state  D-brane in closed string channel  Source of closed strings ← Such properties are guaranteed by conformal symmetry of the world-sheet conformal transformation ζ→ f(ζ), where ζ=σ+iτ conformal transformation ζ→ f(ζ), where ζ=σ+iτ

Using the conformal transformation, we can change the boundary condition for open strings into that for closed strings.

We can rewrite the boundary condition with using the oscillators.

5. Summary  Black p-branes are the classical solutions of SUGRA and they are thought to correspond to D-branes in low energy limit.  Boundary states are another representation of D-branes, which are written in closed string channel.  Using 3-point coupling of SUGRA, we can reproduce the asymptotic behavior of a black p-brane from a boundary state.

6. Problem  STF coupling ⇔ SUGRA coupling ?  Degrees of freedom of field-redefinition graviton of SFT ⇔ graviton of SUGRA ?  Difference between D-brane and black p-brane → massive mode effect → Hawking radiation, etc.

7. Future Works  We are now investigating...  Classical solution for unstable non-BPS D- brane  D-brane deformation using String Field Theory or CFT  Application  Hawking radiation in terms of D-brane  D/anti-D brane inflation
