More on effective potentials for revolving D-branes

Abstract

Abstract We continue to investigate the effective potential between a pair of Dp-branes revolving around each other by using the technique of partial modular transformation developed in our previous work. We determine the shape of the potential for general p for a wide range of regions interpolating smaller and larger distances than the string scale l s . We also discuss the backreaction of the D-brane system to the space-time metric and the validity of our calculations.
