Monopoles in String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
A realization of En+1 monopoles in string theory is given. The NS five brane stuck to an Orientifold eight plane is identified as the ’t Hooft Polyakov monopole. Correspondingly, the moduli space of many such NS branes is identified with the moduli space of SU(2) monopoles. These monopoles transform in the spinor representation of an SO(2n) gauge group when n D8 branes are stacked upon the orientifold plane. This leads to a realization of En+1 monopole moduli spaces. Charge conservation leads to a dynamical effect which does not allow the NS branes to leave the orientifold plane. This suggests that the monopole moduli space is smooth for n < 8. Odd n > 8 obeys a similar condition. Using a chain of dualities, we also connect our system to an Heterotic background with Kaluza-Klein monopoles.

Dynamics of Multiple Kaluza - Klein Monopoles in M - and String Theory
We analyse the world-volume theory of multiple Kaluza-Klein monopoles in string and M-theory by identifying the appropriate zero modes of various fields. The results are consistent with supersymmetry, and all conjectured duality symmetries. In particular for M-theory and type IIA string theory, the low energy dynamics of N Kaluza-Klein monopoles is described by supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory,...
متن کاملF & H Monopoles
Supersymmetric monopoles of the heterotic string theory associated with arbitrary non-negative number of the left moving modes of the string states are presented. They include H monopoles and their T dual partners F monopoles (ALE instantons). Massive F = H monopoles are T self-dual. Solutions include also an infinite tower of generic T duality covariant non-singular in stringy frame F&H monopo...

We study monopoles and vortices in SU (2) lattice gauge theory on a 24 4 lattice at β = 2.50. We find a value of fundamental string tension from monopoles in the maximum Abelian gauge consistent with the full SU (2) value. Using direct and indirect center gauges, we find fundamental string tension values from P-vortices which are larger than the full SU (2) result. After a single cooling sweep,...
متن کاملString Theory in Magnetic Monopole Backgrounds
We discuss string propagation in the near-horizon geometry generated by Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes, Kaluza-Klein monopoles and fundamental strings. When the fivebranes and KK monopoles are wrapped around a compact four-manifold M, the geometry is AdS3 ×S/ZZN ×M and the spacetime dynamics is expected to correspond to a local two dimensional conformal field theory. We determine the moduli space of ...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Quantum Chromodynamics: How Confined Non-Abelian Monopoles Emerge from Quark Condensation
We consider N = 1 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group U(N) and Nf = N quark flavors. To get rid of flat directions we add a meson superfield. The theory has no adjoint fields and, therefore, no ’t Hooft–Polyakov monopoles in the quasiclassical limit. We observe a non-Abelian Meissner effect: condensation of color charges (squarks) gives rise to confined monopoles. The very fact of their exi...
