More on Effective Potentials for Revolving D-Branes

Abstract

We continue to investigate the effective potential between a pair of D$p$-branes revolving around each other by using the technique of ${\it partial\ modular\ transformation}$ 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.
