M5-brane Effective Action as an On-shell Action in Supergravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the covariant effective action for M5-brane is a solution to the HamiltonJacobi (H-J) equations of 11-dimensional supergravity. The solution to the H-J equations reproduces the supergravity solution that represents the M2-M5 bound states. e-mail address : [email protected] e-mail address : [email protected]

Dirac Action on M 5 and M 2 Branes with Bulk Fluxes
We derive an explicit form of the quadratic-in-fermions Dirac action on the M5 brane for an arbitrary on-shell background of 11D supergravity with non-vanishing fluxes and in presence of a chiral 2-form on M5. This action may be used to generalize the conditions for which the non-perturbative superpotential can be generated in M/string theory. We also derive the Dirac action with bulk fluxes on...
متن کاملBrane-intersection Dynamics from Branes in Brane Backgrounds
We derive the dynamics of M-brane intersections from the worldvolume action of one brane in the background supergravity solution of another one. In this way we obtain an effective action for the self-dual string boundary of an M2-brane in an M5-brane, and show that the dynamics of the 3-brane intersection of two M5-branes is described by a Dirac-Born-Infeld action.

متن کاملBorn-Infeld Action from Supergravity
We show that the Born-Infeld action with the Wess-Zumino terms for the RamondRamond fields, which is the D3-brane effective action, is a solution to the HamiltonJacobi (H-J) equation in type IIB supergravity. Adopting the radial coordinate as time, we develop the ADM formalism for type IIB supergravity reduced on S5 and derive the H-J equation, which is the classical limit of the Wheeler-De Wit...
متن کاملNS 5–branes in IIA supergravity and gravitational anomalies
We construct a gravitational–anomaly–free effective action for the coupled system of IIA D = 10 dynamical supergravity interacting with an NS5–brane. The NS5–brane is considered as elementary in that the associated current is a δ–function supported on its worldvolume. Our approach is based on a Chern–kernel which encodes the singularities of the three–form field strength near the brane in an SO...
متن کاملOn the one-loop Kählerpotential in five-dimensional brane-world supergravity
We present an on-shell formulation of 5d gauged supergravity coupled to chiral matter multiplets localized at the orbifold fixed points. The brane action is constructed via the Noether method. In such set-up we compute one-loop corrections to the Kähler potential of the effective 4d supergravity and compare the result with previous computations based on the off-shell formalism. The results agre...
