On M-9-branes and their dimensional reductions
M-theory is a candidate for a unified theory of particle interactions and is conjectured to be the 11-dimensional (11D) theory which gives 5 perturbative 10-dimensional (10D) string theories in different kinds of limits. In discussing properties of these theories, (p+1)-dimensional objects, called p-branes, play many crucial roles, so, it is important to clarify what kinds of branes exist in ea...
متن کاملOn dimensional reductions of the M-9-brane
We discuss the relation of the M-9-brane with other branes via dimensional reductions, mainly focusing on their Wess-Zumino actions. It is shown that on dimensional reductions along three different directions, the Wess-Zumino action of the M-9-brane gives that of the D-8-brane, the IIA NS 9-brane, and the “KK-8A brane”, respectively, the last two of which were obtained via dualities. So, it is ...
متن کاملDimensional 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-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 کاملWrapped M-Branes in Their Gravity Duals
We investigate a class of N = 4 quiver Chern-Simons theories and their gravity duals. We define the group of fractional D3-brane charges in a type IIB brane setup taking account of D3-brane creation due to the Hanany-Witten effect, and confirm that it agrees with the 3-cycle homology of the dual geometry, which describes the charges of fractional M2-branes, i.e., M5-branes wrapped on 3-cycles. ...
