World-volume Description of M2-branes Ending on an M5-brane and Holography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider world-volume description of M2-branes ending on an M5-brane. The system can be described either as a solitonic solution of the M5-brane field equations or in terms of an effective string propagating in 6-dimensions. We show that the zeroth order scalar scattering amplitudes behave similarly in both pictures. The soliton solution appears to have a horizon-like throat region. Due to the underlying geometric structure of the M5-brane theory, modes propagating near the horizon are subject to a large red-shift. This allows one to define a decoupling limit and implies a holographic duality between two theories which do not contain dynamical gravity.

متن کاملM2-branes stretching between M5-branes
A generalization of Nahm’s equation has been recently conjectured by Basu and Harvey to be the BPS condition describing the bound state of a stack of M2branes ending on an M5-brane. In this note exact solutions are presented for the proposed BPS equation – which is from the point of view of the M2-brane world-volume dynamics – with boundary conditions appropriate for M2-branes stretching betwee...
متن کاملThe M2-M5 Brane System and a Generalized Nahm’s Equation
We propose an equation that describes M2-branes ending on M5-branes, and which generalizes the description of the D1-D3 system via Nahm’s equation. The simplest solution to this equation constructs the transverse geometry in terms of a fuzzy three sphere. We show that the solution passes a number of consistency checks including a consistent reduction to the D1-D3 system, a calculation of the en...
متن کاملFully localized brane intersections: The plot thickens
We study fully localized BPS brane solutions in classical supergravity using a perturbative approach to the coupled Born-Infeld/bulk supergravity system. We derive first order bulk supergravity fields for world-volume solitons corresponding to intersecting M2branes and to a fundamental string ending on a D3-brane. One interesting feature is the appearance of certain off-diagonal metric componen...
متن کاملOn Branes Ending on Branes in Supergravity
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]...
