47. Note however that some D-matter states could act as magnetic point sources of the world-volume gauge field on some higher-dimensional branes, in which case their properties are similar to that of ’t Hooft–Polyakov magnetic monopoles. For example, a D1 brane ending on two D3 branes corresponds to a magnetic monopole of the (Formula presented) gauge theory on the D3 brane world volume. This configuration is S dual to a fundamental string ending on the D3 branes. The power counting of (Formula presented) for D-matter interactions can be obtained by taking (Formula presented) of the S-dual amplitudes.

66. D-matter states could be Bosonic or Fermionic. They correspond to the Bosonic and Fermionic zero modes of the stable D branes respectively.
67. Notice that charge conservation with respect to the unbroken gauge group on the world volume of D matter has to be satisfied if only one end point of the open strings is attached to it. In principle, the gauge symmetry on the world volume of D matter could be broken in a realistic model so this type of requirement would not impose a restriction on the possible types of excited states.
68. At a more technical level, the zeroth mode of the Virasoro generator of an excited D-particle state is (Formula presented) Requiring (Formula presented) to annihilate the D-matter state will give us the mass formula.
69. Whether the open string states carry momentum/winding numbers depends on whether the corresponding compact dimension is along or transverse to the world volumes of D matter and the standard model (SM) branes. If a compact dimension is along the world volumes of both the D matter and the SM branes (Neumann-Neumann boundary condition), the open string states can carry momentum but not winding numbers. Conversely, if a compact dimension is transverse to both the D matter and the SM branes (Dirichlet-Dirichlet boundary condition), the open string states can carry winding but not momentum numbers. Finally, if a compact dimension is transverse to either the D matter or the SM branes but not both (Dirichlet-Neumann boundary condition), the open string states do not carry any momentum or winding numbers.
