A World-Volume Perspective on the Recombination of Intersecting Branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study brane recombination for supersymmetric configurations of intersecting branes in terms of the world-volume field theory. This field theory contains an impurity, corresponding to the degrees of freedom localized at the intersection. The Higgs branch, on which the impurity fields condense, consists of vacua for which the intersection is deformed into a smooth calibrated manifold. We show this explicitly using a superspace formalism for which the calibration equations arise naturally from Fand D-flatness.

Scattering of Gauge, Matter, and Moduli Fields from Intersecting Branes
We calculate various tree–level (disk) scattering amplitudes involving gauge, matter and moduli fields in type IIB toroidal orbifold/orientifold backgrounds with D9, D5 respectively D7, D3–branes or via T -duality D6–branes in type IIA compactifications. In type IIB the D–branes may have non–vanishing fluxes on their world–volume. From these results we extract the moduli and flux dependence of ...
متن کاملRecombination of Intersecting D-branes by Local Tachyon Condensation
We provide a simple low energy description of recombination of intersecting Dbranes using super Yang-Mills theory. The recombination is realized by condensation of an off-diagonal tachyonic fluctuation localized at the intersecting point. The recombination process is equivalent to brane-antibrane annihilation, thus our result confirms Sen’s conjecture on tachyon condensation, although we work i...
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Recombination of Intersecting D-branes
We study recombination of D-branes system intersecting at more than one angle using super Yang-Mills theory. We find the condensation of an off-diagonal tachyon mode relates to the recombination, as was clarified in a case at one angle in hep-th/0303204. In two angles’ case, after the tachyon mode between two D2-branes condensed, D2-brane charge distributes in the bulk near an intersection poin...
متن کاملA Brane Teaser .
In this note we study the puzzle posed by two M5-branes intersecting on a string (or equivalently, a single M5-brane wrapping a holomorphic four-cycle in C). It has been known for a while that this system is different from all other configurations built using self-intersecting M-branes; in particular the corresponding supergravity solution exhibits various curious features which have remained u...
متن کاملSemi Localized Brane Intersections in SUGRA
We construct SUGRA solutions of brane configurations of intersecting Dp and NS branes. These solutions are semi-localized in the sense that one of the intersecting branes is smeared along the world volume of the other, while the second is localized. We examine the gauge theory that lives on the localized brane, and the various descriptions possible via T and S dualities, and M-theory. e-mail: l...
