Abstract

We have argued previously that black holes may be represented in a D-brane approach by monopole and vortex defects in a sine–Gordon field theory model of Liouville dynamics on the worldsheet. Supersymmetrizing this sine–Gordon system, we find critical behavior in 11 dimensions, due to defect condensation which we interpret as the worldsheet analog of D-brane condensation around an extra space–time dimension in M-theory. This supersymmetric description of Liouville dynamics has a natural embedding within a 12-dimensional framework suggestive of F-theory.
