چکیده
We show that boundary conditions in topological open string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds are objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves, as foreseen in the homological mirror symmetry proposal of Kontsevich. Together with conformal field theory considerations, this leads to a precise criterion determining the BPS branes at any point in CY moduli space, completing the proposal of Π-stability.

متن کاملD 5 - branes and their string duals †
We consider Z2, freely acting orbifolds of the type IIB string with 16 parallel D5-branes. When the string is compactified on T 2 × T 4 and the D5-branes are wrapped on T , these systems possess N = 2 supersymmetry, originating from the spontaneous, partial breaking of N = 4. Extended supersymmetry allows us to investigate the duality with certain heterotic and type I constructions, and to obta...
متن کاملPinned Branes and New Non Lorentz Invariant Theories
We describe a mechanism for localising branes in ambient space. When a 3-form flux is turned on in a Taub-NUT space, an M5-brane gets an effective potential that pins it to the center of the space. A similar effect occurs for M2-branes and D-branes with appropriate fluxes. In carefully chosen limits of the external parameters, this leads to new theories that are decoupled from gravity and appea...
