D-brane networks in flux vacua, generalized cycles and calibrations
We consider chains of generalized submanifolds, as defined by Gualtieri in the context of generalized complex geometry, and define a boundary operator that acts on them. This allows us to define generalized cycles and the corresponding homology theory. Gauge invariance demands that D-brane networks on flux vacua must wrap these generalized cycles, while deformations of generalized cycles inside...
متن کاملThe charge radius of a D p brane
Sen has shown that tachyon condensation in Dbrane–anti-Dbrane configurations can lead to remarkable connections between string theories. A consequence of his results is that there is a minimal value of the radial coördinate r c ∝ √ α ′ g 1/(9−p) such that Dpbrane charge cannot be localized to values smaller than r c. At this value of r c the curvature and the gradient of the Ramond-Ramond field...
متن کاملCross Product Quantisation, Nonabelian Cohomology and Twisting of Hopf Algebras
This is an introduction to work on the generalisation to quantum groups of Mackey’s approach to quantisation on homogeneous spaces. We recall the bicrossproduct models of the author, which generalise the quantum double. We describe the general extension theory of Hopf algebras and the nonAbelian cohomology spaces H(H,A) which classify them. They form a new kind of topological quantum number in ...
متن کاملRelative Hyperbolicity and Bounded Cohomology
Let Γ be a finitely generated group and Γ′ = {Γi | i ∈ I} be a family of its subgroups. We utilize the notion of tuple (Γ,Γ′, X,V ′) that makes the statements and arguments for the pair (Γ,Γ′) parallel to the non-relative case, and define the snake metric dς on the set of edges of a simplicial complex. The language of tuples and snake metrics seems to be convenient for dealing with relative hyp...
متن کاملM5-Brane and D-Brane Scattering Amplitudes
We present tree-level n-particle on-shell scattering amplitudes of various brane theories with 16 conserved supercharges. These include the world-volume theory of a probe D3-brane or D5-brane in 10D Minkowski spacetime as well as a probe M5-brane in 11D Minkowski spacetime, which describes self interactions of an abelian tensor supermultiplet with 6D (2, 0) supersymmetry. Twistor-string-like fo...
