String Webs and Curves of Marginal Stability in Five - Dimensional E N theories on S 1

چکیده
We study curves of marginal stability (CMS) in five-dimensional N = 1 EN theories compactified on a circle using the D3-brane probe realization. In this realization, BPS states correspond to string webs in the affine EN 7-brane background and junction positions of the webs determine CMS. We find that there exist string webs involving infinitely many junctions. Consequently the EN theories have infinitely many CMS. We also find that there exists a transition from open strings to string webs involving loops. The transition describes a new phenomenon occurring on CMS.

متن کاملString Junctions and the BPS Spectrum of N=2 SU(2) Theory with Massive Matters
We study the BPS spectrum of four dimensional N = 2 SU(2) theory with massive fundamental matters using the D3-brane probe. Since the BPS states are realized by string webs subject to the BPS conditions, we determine explicitly the configurations of such webs. It is observed that there appear BPS string webs with multiple of junctions corresponding to the fact that the curves of marginal stabil...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملOn the internal structure of dyons in N=4 super Yang-Mills theories
We use the low energy effective U(1) action on the Coulomb branch of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory to construct approximate field configurations for solitonic dyons in these theories, building on the brane prong description developed in hep-th/0101114. This dovetails closely with the corresponding description of these dyons as string webs stretched between D-branes in the transverse space. The ...
متن کاملWalls of Marginal Stability and Dyon Spectrum in N = 4 Supersymmetric String Theories
The spectrum of quarter BPS dyons in N = 4 supersymmetric string theories can change as the asymptotic moduli cross walls of marginal stability on which the dyon can break apart into a pair of half BPS states. In this paper we classify these marginal stability walls and examine this phenomenon in the context of exact dyon spectrum found in a class of N = 4 supersymmetric string theories. We arg...
