“…(i) We propose that the supergravity/DBI correspondence can be made into an algorithmic map within the general formalism of blackfolds in supergravity (extending the proposal of our recent work [25]). In the present paper we provide an important part of this map: the explicit relation between the fluid dynamical variables of the gravitational long-wavelength description and the gauge-theoretic degrees of freedom of the open string description, and the precise relation between the equations of motion that both degrees of freedom obey at extremality.…”

“…As we pointed out in [25] there is a related old approach (first applied to string theory in [30]) that identifies the abelian part of the brane degrees of freedom in supergravity as collective coordinates associated to large gauge transformations (for a review see [31]). A notable improvement of the blackfold approach is that it encodes rather easily the full non-linear nature of the DBI action, which is hard to achieve with the techniques of [30].…”

We propose an open/closed string duality in general backgrounds extending previous ideas about open string completeness by Ashoke Sen. Our proposal sets up a general version of holography that works in gravity as a tomographic principle. We argue, in particular, that previous expectations of a supergravity/Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) correspondence are naturally embedded in this conjecture and can be tested in a well-defined manner. As an example, we consider the correspondence between open string field theories on extremal D-brane setups in flat space in the large-N , large 't Hooft limit, and asymptotically flat solutions in ten-dimensional type II supergravity. We focus on a convenient long-wavelength regime, where specific effects of higher-spin open string modes can be traced explicitly in the dual supergravity computation. For instance, in this regime we show how the full abelian DBI action arises from supergravity as a straightforward reformulation of relativistic hydrodynamics. In the example of a (2 + 1)-dimensional open string theory this reformulation involves an abelian Hodge duality. We also point out how different deformations of the DBI action, related to higher-derivative corrections and non-abelian effects, can arise in this context as deformations in corresponding relativistic hydrodynamics.

“…In closing, we should also mention that our analysis, which is purely gravitational, should have an interesting relation to the blackfolds program described in, for example, [12,13]. That program is more in the spirit of including leading order gravitational back-reaction around a brane configuration.…”

Abstract:We study the dynamics of gravitational lumps. By a lump, we mean a metric configuration that asymptotes to a flat space-time. Such lumps emerge in string theory as strong coupling descriptions of D-branes. We provide a physical argument that the broken global symmetries of such a background, generated by certain large diffeomorphisms, constrain the dynamics of localized modes. These modes include the translation zero modes and any localized tensor modes. The constraints we find are gravitational analogues of those found in brane physics. For the example of a Taub-NUT metric in eleven-dimensional supergravity, we argue that a critical value for the electric field arises from standard gravity without higher derivative interactions.

“…A similar exercise could be performed in M-theory to re-derive from supergravity the PST action of M5-branes [34], which is a theory of a self-dual 3-form field. Earlier related work in this direction has appeared in [23,35].…”

We present a general treatment of the leading order dynamics of the collective modes of charged dilatonic p-brane solutions of (super)gravity theories in arbitrary backgrounds. To this end we employ the general strategy of the blackfold approach which is based on a long-wavelength derivative expansion around an exact or approximate solution of the (super)gravity equations of motion. The resulting collective mode equations are formulated as forced hydrodynamic equations on dynamically embedded hypersurfaces. We derive them in full generality (including all possible asymptotic fluxes and dilaton profiles) in a far-zone analysis of the (super)gravity equations and in representative examples in a near-zone analysis. An independent treatment based on the study of external couplings in hydrostatic partition functions is also presented. Special emphasis is given to the forced collective mode equations that arise in type IIA/B and eleven-dimensional supergravities, where besides the standard Lorentz force couplings our analysis reveals additional couplings to the background, including terms that arise from Chern-Simons interactions. We also present a general overview of the blackfold approach and some of the key conceptual issues that arise when applied to arbitrary backgrounds.
