Monopole Dynamics from the M - fivebrane

چکیده
We study the BPS states of the M-fivebrane which correspond to monopoles of N = 2 SU(2) gauge theory. Far away from the centres of the monopoles these states may be viewed as solitons in the Seiberg-Witten effective action. It is argued that these solutions are smooth and some properties of their moduli space are discussed.

Monopole Condensation and Confining Phase of N = 1 Gauge Theories Via M Theory Fivebrane
The fivebrane of M theory is used in order to study the moduli space of vacua of confining phase N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. The supersymmetric vacua correspond to the condensation of massless monopoles and confinement of photons. The monopole and meson vacuum expectation values are computed using the fivebrane configuration. The comparison of the fivebrane computati...

متن کاملA Toy Model of the M5-brane: Anomalies of Monopole Strings in Five Dimensions
We study a five-dimensional field theory which contains a monopole (string) solution with chiral fermion zero modes. This monostring solution is a close analog of the fivebrane solution of M-theory. The cancellation of normal bundle anomalies parallels that for the M-theory fivebrane, in particular, the presence of a Chern-Simons term in the low-energy effective U(1) gauge theory plays a centra...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Gauge Theories with Classical Groups via M Theory Fivebrane
We study the moduli space of vacua of four dimensional N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with the gauge groups Sp(2Nc), SO(2Nc) and SO(2Nc + 1) using the M theory fivebrane. Higgs branches of the N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories are interpreted in terms of the M theory fivebrane and the type IIA s-rule is realized in it. In particular we construct the fivebrane configuration whic...
متن کاملM-Fivebrane from the Open Supermembrane
Covariant field equations of M-fivebrane in eleven dimensional curved superspace are obtained from the requirement of κ-symmetry of an open supermembrane ending on a fivebrane. The worldvolume of the latter is a (6|16) dimensional supermanifold embedded in the (11|32) dimensional target superspace. The κ-symmetry of the system imposes a constraint on this embedding, and a constraint on a modifi...
