Exotic branes and nongeometric backgrounds.
When string or M theory is compactified to lower dimensions, the U-duality symmetry predicts so-called exotic branes whose higher-dimensional origin cannot be explained by the standard string or M-theory branes. We argue that exotic branes can be understood in higher dimensions as nongeometric backgrounds or U folds, and that they are important for the physics of systems which originally contai...
متن کاملBranes in Special Holonomy Backgrounds
We study the flow from the theory of D2-branes in a G2 holonomy background to M2-branes in a Spin(7) holonomy background. We consider in detail the UV and IR regimes, and the effect of topology change of the background on the field theory. We conjecture a non-Abelian N = 1 mirror symmetry.
متن کاملD-Branes in Nongeometric Backgrounds
“T-fold” backgrounds are generically-nongeometric compactifications of string theory, described by T fibrations over a base N with transition functions in the perturbative T-duality group. We review Hull’s doubled torus formalism, which geometrizes these backgrounds, and use the formalism to constrain the D-brane spectrum (to leading order in gs and α ) on T fibrations over S with O(n, n;Z) mon...
متن کاملD-branes and constant electro-magnetic backgrounds
We probe the effective worldvolume theory of a set of coinciding D-branes by switching on constant electro-magnetic fields on them. The comparison of the mass spectrum predicted by string theory with the mass spectrum obtained from the effective action provides insights in the structure of the effective theory.
متن کاملD0-branes in flux 5-brane backgrounds
The existence of supersymmetric D0-branes sitting at an arbitrary distance from a flux 5-brane is proven. The physical picture in type IIA is consistent with the Kaluza-Klein reduction origin of the flux 5-brane. An analysis of the fluctuations around these vacua is performed and the backreaction of the D0-branes is computed. Non-threshold D0-D2 bound states and similar stabilization mechanisms...
