Dimensional reduction of M5 branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study dimensional reduction of M5 branes on a circle bundle when the supersymmetry parameter is not constant along circle. When gauge group Abelian and fields appear quadratically in Lagrangian, we can always obtain supersymmetric five-dimensional theory by keeping fermionic nonzero modes that match with corresponding parameter, zero for bosonic as usual. But non-Abelian generalization be found only under special circumstances. One instance where find perform null direction.

M2-branes stretching between M5-branes
A generalization of Nahm’s equation has been recently conjectured by Basu and Harvey to be the BPS condition describing the bound state of a stack of M2branes ending on an M5-brane. In this note exact solutions are presented for the proposed BPS equation – which is from the point of view of the M2-brane world-volume dynamics – with boundary conditions appropriate for M2-branes stretching betwee...
متن کاملIntersecting M2– and M5–branes
If an M2–brane intersects an M5–brane the canonical Wess–Zumino action is plagued by a Dirac–anomaly, i.e. a non–integer change of the action under a change of Dirac–brane. We show that this anomaly can be eliminated at the expense of a gravitational anomaly supported on the intersection manifold. Eventually we check that the last one is cancelled by the anomaly produced by the fermions present...
متن کاملOn Matrix models of M5 branes
We compare the (0, 2) theory of the single M5 brane decoupled from gravity in the lightcone with transverse R, and a matrix model description in terms of quantum mechanics on instanton moduli space. We give some tests of the Matrix model in the case of multi fivebranes on R. We extract constraints on the operator content of the field theory of the multi-fivebrane system by analyzing the Matrix ...
متن کاملThe geometry of M5-branes and TQFTs
The calculation of the partition function for N M5-branes is addressed for the case in which the worldvolume wraps a manifold T 2 × M4, where M4 is simply connected and Kaehler. This is done in a compactification of M-theory which induces the Vafa-Witten theory on M4 in the limit of vanishing torus volume. The results follow from the equivalence of the BPS spectrum counting in the complementary...
متن کاملMatrix Description of Intersecting M5 Branes
Novel 3+1 dimensional N = 2 superconformal field theories (with tensionless BPS string solitons) are believed to arise when two sets of M5 branes intersect over a 3+1 dimensional hyperplane. We derive a DLCQ description of these theories as supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the Higgs branch of suitable 4d N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories. Our formulation allows us to determine the scaling ...
