abstract

We study D-branes of the ${SL(2,\bR)}$ WZW model, and of its discrete orbifolds. Gluing the currents by group automorphisms leads to three types of D-branes: two-dimensional hyperbolic planes ($H_2$), de Sitter branes (dS$_2$), or anti-de-Sitter branes (AdS$_2$). We explain that the dS$_2$ branes are unphysical, because the electric field on their worldvolume is supercritical. By combining ${SL(2,\bR)}$ and SU(2), we exhibit a class of supersymmetric AdS$_2\times S^2$ three-brane worldvolumes, and consider their possible embeddings in the near-horizon region of stringy black holes. We point out the intriguing difference between the induced and the effective geometries of these D-branes, and speculate on its possible significance.

    Unphysical dS2-branes in AdS3 with imaginary electric flux are reinterpreted, via T-duality, as S0-branes from tachyon condensation, with S(p-1)-branes carrying imaginary NS-NS tension.
