Kalb-Ramond solitons in basonic string theory
A soliton of the Kalb-Ramond field in closed bosonic string theory is introduced. Under appropriate configurations the cosmological constant becomes a periodic function of the Kalb-Ramond field. This vacuum degeneracy permits the formation of sine- Gordon solitons. The energy and length scale of...

A soliton of the Kalb-Ramond field in closed bosonic string theory is introduced. Under
appropriate configurations the cosmological constant becomes a periodic function
of the Kalb-Ramond field. This vacuum degeneracy permits the formation of sine-
Gordon solitons. The energy and length scale of the soliton is inversely proportional
to the string coupling constant g[sub s]. The stability of the the solitons is discussed and
it is shown that these objects are stable. === Science, Faculty of === Physics and Astronomy, Department of === Graduate |
