Brane Transmutation in Supergravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a family of BPS solutions of type IIA supergravity that can be interpreted as describing the ‘transmutation’ of a Neveu-Schwarz five-brane into a D4-brane in the presence of a D6-brane. The D4-brane, which terminates on the D6-brane, can be equally well interpreted as a ‘pure multipole’ configuration of NS5-brane wrapped tightly around the D6-brane. Such a transmutation is a “near-core” version (i.e., near the D6-brane) of the brane-creation that can occur when two branes pass through each other, as in the Hanany-Witten construction. The work below highlights certain charge non-conservation features of type IIA supergravity.

Delocalized Supergravity Solutions for Brane/Anti-brane Systems and their Bound States
We obtain various solutions for D = 4 dipoles and their bound states whose U(1) fields originate from various form fields in the effective string theories. We oxidize such dipole solutions to D = 10 to obtain delocalized supergravity solutions for the brane/anti-brane pairs and their bound states. We speculate on generalized harmonic superposition rules for supergravity solutions for (intersect...
متن کاملFlowing to a noncommmutative ( OM ) five brane via its supergravity dual
The dual supergravity description of the flow between (2,0) five–brane theory and the noncommutative five–brane (OM) theory is examined at critical five– brane field strength. The self–duality of the field strength is shown to arise as a consequence of the supergravity solution. Open membrane solutions are examined in the background of the five–brane giving rise to an M analogue of the noncommu...
متن کاملBrane-Localized Goldstone Fermions in Bulk Supergravity
We construct the action and transformation laws for bulk five-dimensional AdS supergravity coupled to one or two brane-localized Goldstone fermions. The resulting bulk-plus-brane system gives a model-independent description of branelocalized supersymmetry breaking in the Randall-Sundrum scenario. We explicitly reduce the action and transformation laws to spontaneously broken four-dimensional su...
متن کاملLocalization of Supergravity on the Brane
A supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum brane-world demands that not merely the graviton but the entire supergravity multiplet be trapped on the brane. To demonstrate this, we present a complete ansatz for the reduction of (D = 5, N = 4) gauged supergravity to (D = 4, N = 2) ungauged supergravity in the Randall-Sundrum geometry. We verify that it is consistent to lowest order in fermion terms. In part...
متن کاملSupergravity Solutions for Localized Intersections of Branes
We construct an explicit supergravity solution for a configuration of localized D4brane ending on a D6-brane, restricted to the near horizon region of the latter. We generate this solution by dimensionally reducing the supergravity solution for a flat M5-brane in R1,7 × C/ZN with the M5-brane partially embedded in C/ZN . We describe the general class of localized intersections and overlaps whos...
