Five-brane Effective Action in M -theory
On the world-volume of an M -theory five-brane propagates a two-form with selfdual field strength. As this field is non-Lagrangian, there is no obvious framework for determining its partition function. An analogous problem exists in Type IIB superstring theory for the self-dual five-form. The resolution of these problems and definition of the partition function is explained. A more complete ana...
متن کاملWorld - Volume Action of the M Theory Five - Brane 1
This paper presents a 6d world-volume action that describes the dynamics of the M theory five-brane in a flat 11d space-time background. The world-volume action has global 11d super-Poincaré invariance, as well as 6d general coordinate invariance and kappa symmetry, which are realized as local symmetries. The paper mostly considers a formulation in which general coordinate invariance is not man...
متن کاملFive-Brane Superpotentials in Heterotic M-theory
The open supermembrane contribution to the non-perturbative superpotential of bulk space five-branes in heterotic M -theory is presented. We explicitly compute the superpotential for the modulus associated with the separation of a bulk five-brane from an end-of-the-world three-brane. The gauge and κ-invariant boundary strings of such open supermembranes are given and the role of the holomorphic...
متن کاملThe M Theory Five - Brane 1
BPS saturated p-branes play an important role in recent progress in understanding superstring theory and M theory. One approach to understanding the dynamics of p-branes is to formulate an effective (p+1)-dimensional world-volume theory. The construction of such brane actions involves a number of interesting issues. One such issue is how to formulate the action for theories that contain chiral ...
متن کاملFive-Brane Dynamics and Inflation in Heterotic M-Theory
Generic heterotic M-theory compactifications contain five-branes wrapping nonisolated genus zero or higher genus curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold. Non-perturbative superpotentials do not depend on moduli of such five-branes. We show that fluxes and non-perturbative effects can stabilize them in a non-supersymmetric AdS vacuum. We also show that these five-branes can be stabilized in a dS vacuum...
