We generalize to p-dimensional extended objects and type II superstrings a recently proposed Green-Schwarz type I superstring action in which the tension $T$ emerges as an integration constant of the equations of motion. The action is spacetime scale-invariant but its equations of motion are equivalent to those of the standard super p-brane for $T\ne 0$ and the null super p-brane for $T=0$. We also show that for $p=1$ the action can be written in ``Born-Infeld'' form.

  1. Constructing de Sitter space and Dark Matter with Dynamical Tension Strings

    physics.gen-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dynamical string tensions via a tension scalar induce de Sitter space on a brane and allow different-tension strings to serve as dark matter with hidden standard-model copies.
