Chapter 9C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong> & Final Thoughts“I know what I’ve d<strong>on</strong>e, but tell me what did I miss?”Queens Of The St<strong>on</strong>e AgeSick, Sick, SickWe derived the equati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> moti<strong>on</strong> for the fluctuati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a D2-brane in the cigargeometry, and managed to combine them into a sec<strong>on</strong>d order partial differential equati<strong>on</strong>,Eq. 8.37. We unfortunately found out that we run into problems when we try to rewritethis equati<strong>on</strong> as a hypergeometric equati<strong>on</strong>, preventing us from obtaining the spectrum<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the D2-brane fluctuati<strong>on</strong>s, and c<strong>on</strong>cluding the research.The problems arise starting from Eq. 8.27, where the ρ derivative also acts <strong>on</strong> thefactor in fr<strong>on</strong>t <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the fluctuati<strong>on</strong>. This happens a sec<strong>on</strong>d time right after in Eq. 8.29,resulting in a number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> α-dependent terms in the zero-order and first-order differentialterms that were absent from the D1-brane case. T-duality however str<strong>on</strong>gly suggeststhat it should nevertheless be possible to rewrite Eq. 8.37 as a hypergeometric equati<strong>on</strong>,although this seems a rather n<strong>on</strong>-trivial task.105
