On Branes Ending on Branes in Supergravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the eleven-dimensional supergravity and the classical solutions corresponding to M2-branes ending on M5-branes. We obtain the generic BPS configuration representing two sets of parallel M5-branes with (1+1) commonly longitudinal directions and M2branes stretching between them. We also discuss how the brane creation is described in supergravity. email address: [email protected]

Supergravity Solutions for Localised Brane Intersections
We present a general method for constructing supergravity solutions for intersecting branes. The solutions are written in terms of a single function, which is the solution to a nonlinear differential equation. We illustrate this procedure in detail for the case of M2-branes ending on M5-branes. We also present supergravity solutions for strings ending on Dp-branes. Unlike previous results in th...
متن کاملStrings ending on branes from supergravity
We study geometries produced by brane intersections preserving eight supercharges. Typical examples of such configurations are given by fundamental strings ending on Dp branes and we construct gravity solutions describing such intersections. The geometry is specified in terms of two functions obeying coupled differential equations and the boundary conditions are determined by distributions of D...
متن کاملBranes on the Brane
We show that four-dimensional N = 2 ungauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity can be embedded on the Randall-Sundrum 3-brane, as a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of five-dimensional N = 4 gauged supergravity. In particular, this allows us to describe four-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black holes within the Randall-Sundrum scenario. Using earlier results on the embedding of five-dimensional N ...
متن کاملD-branes and Matrix Theory in Curved Space
In this lecture, we will discuss a class of quantum mechanical actions which we believe are one appropriate starting point for defining Matrix theory in curved backgrounds. This is in part based on the works [16] and [25], and on work in progress with A. Kato and H. Ooguri. But first, let us give some historical background. A central lesson from the physics of D-branes [12,38,39] was a new and ...
متن کاملSupergravity Solutions for Localized Intersections of Branes
We construct an explicit supergravity solution for a configuration of localized D4brane ending on a D6-brane, restricted to the near horizon region of the latter. We generate this solution by dimensionally reducing the supergravity solution for a flat M5-brane in R1,7 × C/ZN with the M5-brane partially embedded in C/ZN . We describe the general class of localized intersections and overlaps whos...
