BPS-spectra in four dimensions from M-theory
I review my work together with Piljin Yi [1] on the spectrum of BPS-saturated states in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. In an M -theory description, such states are realized as certain two-brane configurations. We first show how the central charge of the N = 2 algebra arises from the two-form central charge of the eleven-dimensional supersymmetry algebra, and derive the condition for ...
متن کاملFour-dimensional BPS-spectra via M -theory
We consider the realization of four-dimensional theories with N = 2 supersymmetry as M -theory configurations including a five-brane. Our emphasis is on the spectrum of massive states, that are realized as two-branes ending on the five-brane. We start with a determination of the supersymmetries that are left unbroken by the background metric and five-brane. We then show how the central charge o...
متن کاملDiscontinuous BPS spectra in N = 2 gauge theory
We consider the spectrum of BPS saturated states in N = 2 gauge theories in four dimensions. This spectrum may be discontinuous across real codimension one submanifolds of marginal stability in the moduli space of vacua. An example, which can be treated with semiclassical methods in the weak coupling limit, is the decay of quark-soliton bound states. For a quark and a soliton of electric-magnet...
متن کاملBps Supermultiplets in Five Dimensions
BPS representations of 5-dimensional supersymmetry algebras are classified. For BPS states preserving 1/2 the supersymmetry, there are two distinct classes of multiplets for N = 4 supersymmetry and three classes for N = 8 supersymmetry. For N = 4 matter theories, the two 1/2 supersymmetric BPS multiplets are the massive vector multiplet and the massive self-dual 2-form multiplet. Some applicati...
