Dimensional reductions of M-theory S-branes to string theory S-branes
We study both the direct and the double dimensional reduction of space-like branes of Mtheory and point out some peculiarities in the process unlike their time-like counterpart. In particular, we show how starting from SM2 and SM5-brane solutions we can obtain SD2 and SNS5-brane as well as SNS1 and SD4-brane solutions of string theory by direct and double dimensional reductions respectively. In...
متن کاملM/String Theory, S-branes and Accelerating Universe
Recently it was observed that the hyperbolic compactification of M/string theory related to Sbranes may lead to a transient period of acceleration of the universe. We study time evolution of the corresponding effective 4d cosmological model supplemented by cold dark matter and show that it is marginally possible to describe observational data for the late-time cosmic acceleration in this model....
متن کاملOverlapping Branes in M -Theory
We construct new supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity describing n orthogonally “overlapping” membranes and fivebranes for n=2,. . . ,8. Overlapping branes arise after separating intersecting branes in a direction transverse to all of the branes. The solutions, which generalize known intersecting brane solutions, preserve at least 2−n of the supersymmetry. Each pairwise overlap involve...
متن کاملOpen String Creation by S-branes
An sp-brane can be viewed as the creation and decay of an unstable D(p+1)-brane. It is argued that the decaying half of an sp-brane can be described by a variant of boundary Liouville theory. The pair creation of open strings by a decaying s-brane is studied in the minisuperspace approximation to the Liouville theory. In this approximation a Hagedornlike divergence is found in the pair creation...
متن کاملCoupling of M–branes in M–theory
Coupling of a membrane and a five-brane to the bosonic sector of D = 11 supergravity is considered. The five–brane is a dyonic object which carries both an electric and a magnetic charge of the D = 11 three-form gauge field A, and it couples not only to A but also minimally couples to a six-form field A dual to A. This implies that the 5-brane should more naturally couple to a version of D = 11...
