Kaluza-Klein Dyons in String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
S-duality of hetertotic / type II string theory compactified on a six dimensional torus requires the existence of Kaluza-Klein dyons, carrying winding charge. We identify the zero modes of the Kaluza-Klein monopole solution which are responsible for these dyonic excitations, and show that we get the correct degeneracy of dyons as predicted by Sduality. The self-dual harmonic two form on the Euclidean Taub-NUT space plays a crucial role in this construction.

Kaluza-Klein and H-Dyons in String Theory
Kaluza-Klein monopole and H-monopole solutions, which are T-dual to each other, are the well-known solutions of string theory compactified on T . Since string theory in this case has an S-duality symmetry, we explicitly construct the corresponding dyonic solutions by expressing the D = 4 string effective action in a manifestly SL(2, R) invariant form with an SL(2, R) invariant constraint. The S...
متن کاملDyonic P-branes from Self-dual (p+1)-branes
The 'electromagnetic' Sl(2; Z) duality group in spacetime dimension D = 4k can be given a Kaluza-Klein interpretation in D = 4k + 2 as the modular group of a compactifying torus. We show how dyonic 2(k − 1)-branes in D = 4k can be interpreted as self-dual (2k − 1)-branes in D = 4k + 2 wound around the homology cycles of the torus. In particular, dyons of the D=4 N=4 heterotic string theory are ...
متن کاملDyons, K-theory and M-theory
We study the dyonic charge of type IIA D6-branes interpreted as M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopoles. The connection between the dyonic properties of type IIA D6-branes and the existence of eleven dimensions is discussed. We also study dyonic properties of noncommutative monopoles. Variations of the external antisymmetric B-field generate the electric charge of non-commutative dyons. E-mail: cesar.g...
متن کاملKaluza-Klein Black Holes in String Theory
Non-supersymmetric black holes carrying both electric and magnetic charge with respect to a single Kaluza-Klein gauge field have much in common with supersymmetric black holes. Angular momentum conservation and other general physics principles underlies some of their basic features. Kaluza-Klein black holes are interpreted in string theory as bound states of D6-branes and D0branes. The microsco...
متن کاملDynamics 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,...
