Solitons on Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the possibility that gauge field configurations on stacks of parallel Dp-branes support topological solitons. We give an exhaustive list of possible soliton charges for p ≤ 6. We also discuss how configurations carrying the soliton charges can be constructed from intersecting branes.

Noncommutative Solitons and D-branes
D-branes are mysterious solitons in string theories and play crucial roles in the study of the non-perturbative aspects. Among many ways to analyze the properties of D-branes, gauge theoretical analysis often become very strong to study the dynamics especially at the low-energy scale. It is very interesting that gauge theories live on the D-branes are useful to study the D-branes themselves (ev...
متن کاملT-duality and the Worldvolume Solitons of Five-Branes and KK-Monopoles
We show that the fluxes of the various six-dimensional “gauge” theories are associated to below threshold bound states of D-branes with the NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles which preserve half of bulk supersymmetry. We then present the supergravity solutions that correspond to these bound states. In addition using the worldvolume solitons of IIA and IIB NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles, we investigate ...
متن کاملThe Moduli Spaces of Worldvolume Brane Solitons
We compute the moduli metrics of worldvolume 0-brane solitons of D-branes and the worldvolume self-dual string solitons of the M-5-brane and examine their geometry. We find that the moduli spaces of 0-brane solitons of D-4-branes and D-8-branes are hyper-Kähler manifolds with torsion and octonionic Kähler manifolds with torsion, respectively. The moduli space of the self-dual string soliton of ...
متن کاملD-branes in Massive IIA and Solitons in Chern-Simons Theory
We investigate D2-branes and D4-branes parallel to D8-branes. The low energy world volume theory on the branes is non-supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. We identify the fundamental strings as the anyons of the 2+1 Chern-Simons theory and the D0-branes as solitons. The Chern-Simons theory with a boundary is modeled using NS 5-branes with ending D6-branes. The brane set-up provides for a graphic...
متن کاملD-branes and Strings as Non-commutative Solitons
The non-commutative geometry of a large auxiliary B-field simplifies the construction of D-branes as solitons in open string field theory. Similarly, fundamental strings are constructed as localized flux tubes in the string field theory. Tensions are determined exactly using general properties of non-BPS branes, and the non-Abelian structure of General arguments [1,2,3], explicit calculations i...
