The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v2. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

A non-perturbative confinement mechanism has been proposed to explain the fate of the unbroken gauge group on the world-volume of annihilating D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs. In this paper, we examine this phenomenon closely from several different perspectives. Existence of the confinement mechanism is most easily seen by noticing that the fundamental string emerges as the confined electric flux string at the end of the annihilation process. After reviewing the confinement proposal in general, this is shown explicitly in the D2-anti-D2 case in the M-theory limit. Finally, we address the crucial issue of whether and how confinement occurs in the weakly coupled limit of string theory.

Original abstract

A non-perturbative confinement mechanism has been proposed to explain the fate of the unbroken gauge group on the world-volume of annihilating D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs. In this paper, we examine this phenomenon closely from several different perspectives. Existence of the confinement mechanism is most easily seen by noticing that the fundamental string emerges as the confined electric flux string at the end of the annihilation process. After reviewing the confinement proposal in general, this is shown explicitly in the D2-anti-D2 case in the M-theory limit. Finally, we address the crucial issue of whether and how confinement occurs in the weakly coupled limit of string theory.

The explicit action that describes the dual Higgs mechanism at strong coupling has not been constructed in the literature, although some qualitative arguments pointing at particular couplings have been given [ref] .

A coincident D-brane-antiD-brane pair (or a non-BPS D-brane) in type II theories is unstable due to the presence of tachyonic mode in the weakly coupled open string description [ref] , however, it should be noted that the corresponding strongly coupled system can be very complicated and the underlying dynamics may be different [ref] .
