E10 and a small tension expansion of m theory.
A formal "small tension" expansion of D=11 supergravity near a spacelike singularity is shown to be equivalent, at least up to 30th order in height, to a null geodesic motion in the infinite-dimensional coset space E(10)/K(E10), where K(E10) is the maximal compact subgroup of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody group E10(R). For the proof we make use of a novel decomposition of E10 into irreducible repres...
متن کاملD-Branes, Holonomy and M-Theory
We show that M-theory on spaces with irreducible holonomy represent Type IIA backgrounds in which a collection of D6-branes wrap a supersymmetric cycle in a manifold with a holonomy group different from the one appearing in the M-theory description. For example, we show that D6-branes wrapping a supersymmetric four-cycle on a manifold with G2 holonomy is described in eleven dimensions by M-theo...
متن کاملM-theory branes and their interactions
In recent years there has been some progress in understanding how one might model the interactions of branes in M-theory despite not having a fundamental perturbative description. The goal of this review is to describe different approaches to M-theory branes and their interactions. This includes: a review of M-theory branes themselves and their properties; brane interactions; the selfdual strin...
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...
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...
