Counting BPS states of the M-5brane
نویسنده
چکیده
An on-shell model for the supersymmetric index counting multiplicities of BPS states of the M5-brane theory is reviewed. In particular we explicitly study the tensionless Little String states appearing at intersections in a bound state of N 5-branes wrapped on a six-manifold with product topology M4 × T .

Counting 1/8-BPS Dual-Giants
We count 1/8-BPS states in type IIB string theory on AdS5 ×S5 background which carry three independent angular momenta on S5. These states can be counted by considering configurations of multiple dual-giant gravitons up to N in number which share at least four supersymmetries. We map this counting problem to that of counting the energy eigenstates of a system of N bosons in a 3-dimensional harm...
متن کاملBPS States, Crystals, and Matrices
We review free fermion, melting crystal, and matrix model representations of wall-crossing phenomena on local, toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. We consider both unrefined and refined BPS counting of closed BPS states involving D2and D0-branes bound to a D6-brane, as well as open BPS states involving open D2-branes ending on an additional D4-brane. Appropriate limit of these constructions provides, a...
متن کاملWall Crossing As Seen By Matrix Models
The number of BPS bound states of D-branes on a Calabi-Yau manifold depends on two sets of data, the BPS charges and the stability conditions. For D0 and D2-branes bound to a single D6-brane wrapping a Calabi-Yau 3-fold X, both are naturally related to the Kähler moduli space M(X). We construct unitary one-matrix models which count such BPS states for a class of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds at in...
متن کاملCounting BPS Blackholes in Toroidal Type II String Theory
We derive a U-duality invariant formula for the degeneracies of BPS multiplets in a D1-D5 system for toroidal compactification of the type II string. The elliptic genus for this system vanishes, but it is found that BPS states can nevertheless be counted using a certain topo-logical partition function involving two insertions of the fermion number operator. This is possible due to four extra to...
متن کاملPrecision Counting of Small Black Holes
It has recently been proposed that a class of supersymmetric higherderivative interactions in N = 2 supergravity may encapsulate an infinite number of finite size corrections to the microscopic entropy of certain supersymmetric black holes. If this proposal is correct, it allows one to probe the string theory description of black-hole micro-states to far greater accuracy than has been possible ...
