Four-dimensional BPS-spectra via M -theory

We consider the realization of four-dimensional theories with N = 2 supersymmetry as M -theory configurations including a five-brane. Our emphasis is on the spectrum of massive states, that are realized as two-branes ending on the five-brane. We start with a determination of the supersymmetries that are left unbroken by the background metric and five-brane. We then show how the central charge o...

Ring Spectra via Space - Level Homotopy Theory

Our main goal in this chapter is to show that the spectrum KU representing periodic complex K-theory has an H~ structure. The existence of such a structure is important since it will allow us to develop a complete theory of Dyer-Lashof operations in K-theory, including the computation of K,(O3(); this program is carried out in chapter IX. Of course, we already know that the connective spectrum ...
