The supergravity fields for a D-brane with a travelling wave from string amplitudes

arXiv:1007.2856 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2010.09.059

Abstract

We calculate the supergravity fields sourced by a D-brane with a null travelling wave from disk amplitudes in type IIB string theory compactified on T^4 x S^1. The amplitudes reproduce all the non-trivial features of the previously known two-charge supergravity solutions in the D-brane/momentum frame, providing a direct link between the microscopic bound states and their macroscopic descriptions.
