Twisting S-branes
نویسنده
چکیده
Smooth time dependent supergravity solutions corresponding to analytic continuations of Kerr black holes are constructed and limits with a local de Sitter phase are found. These solutions are non-singular due to a helical twist in space and a fine tuning of the energy flow in the spacetime. For the extremal limit in which the mass and twist parameters are equal the S-brane undergoes de Sitter expansion. Subextremal limits show the formation and decay of a twisted circle and closed string tachyon condensation backreaction effects can be followed. For small values of the twist deformation, a short lived ergosphere envelopes the S-brane and leads to the production of closed timelike curves. [email protected]

When a D-brane wraps around a cycle of a curved manifold, the twisting of its normal bundle can induce chiral asymmetry in its worldvolume theory. We obtain the general form of the resulting anomalies for D-branes and their intersections. They are not cancelled among themselves, and the standard inflow mechanism does not apply at first sight because of their apparent lack of factorizability and...

متن کاملRegular non-twisting S-branes
We construct a family of time and angular dependent, regular S-brane solutions which corresponds to a simple analytical continuation of the Zipoy-Voorhees 4-dimensional vacuum spacetime. The solutions are asymptotically flat and turn out to be free of singularities without requiring a twist in space. They can be considered as the simplest non-singular generalization of the singular S0-brane sol...
متن کاملLet’s Twist Again: General Metrics of G2 Holonomy from Gauged Supergravity
We construct all possible complete metrics of cohomogeneity one G2 holonomy with S × S principal orbits from gauged supergravity. Our approach rests on a generalization of the twisting procedure used in this framework. It corresponds to a non-trivial embedding of the special Lagrangian three–cycle wrapped by the D6–branes in the lower dimensional supergravity. There are constraints that neatly ...
متن کاملMembrane quantum mechanics
We consider the multiple M2-branes wrapped on a compact Riemann surface and study the arising quantum mechanics by taking the limit where the size of the Riemann surface goes to zero. The IR quantum mechanical models resulting from the BLG-model and the ABJM-model compactified on a torus are N = 16 and N = 12 superconformal gauged quantum mechanics. After integrating out the auxiliary gauge fie...
