Composite Fluxbranes with General Intersections
نویسنده
چکیده
Generalized composite fluxbrane solutions for a wide class of intersection rules are obtained. The solutions are defined on a manifold which contains a product of n Ricci-flat spaces M1 × . . . × Mn with 1-dimensional M1 . They are defined up to a set of functions Hs obeying non-linear differential equations equivalent to Toda-type equations with certain boundary conditions imposed. A conjecture on polynomial structure of governing functions Hs for intersections related to semisimple Lie algebras is suggested. This conjecture is valid for Lie algebras: Am , Cm+1 , m ≥ 1 . For simple Lie algebras the powers of polynomials coincide with the components of the dual Weyl vector in the basis of simple roots. Explicit formulas for A1 ⊕ . . . ⊕ A1 (orthogonal), ”block-ortogonal” and A2 solutions are obtained. Certain examples of solutions in D = 11 and D = 10 ( IIA ) supergravities (e.g. with A2 intersection rules) and Kaluza-Klein dyonic A2 flux tube, are considered. *PACS numbers: 0420J, 0450, 0470 [email protected]

Decay Modes of Intersecting Fluxbranes
Just as the single fluxbrane is quantum mechanically unstable to the nucleation of a locally charged spherical brane, so intersecting fluxbranes are unstable to various decay modes. Each individual element of the intersection can decay via the nucleation of a spherical brane, but uncharged spheres can also be nucleated in the region of intersection. For special values of the fluxes, however, in...
متن کاملGravitating fluxbranes
We consider the effect that gravity has when one tries to set up a constant background form field. We find that in analogy with the Melvin solution, where magnetic field lines self-gravitate to form a flux-tube, the self-gravity of the form field creates fluxbranes. Several exact solutions are found corresponding to different transverse spaces and world-volumes, a dilaton coupling is also consi...
متن کاملHandling of Human-Geosphere Intersections
This essay introduces the notion of “human-geosphere intersections”, describes “engineering” as an aspect of anthropogenic global change, and reflects on particular “paradigms” that may govern human-geosphere intersections. Seen conceptually, engineering is undertaken to meet needs and preferences of people within a composite framework of technological means, scientific insights, worldviews, an...
متن کاملFluxbranes in String Theory
A flux p-brane in D dimensions has (p+1)-dimensional Poincare invariance and a nonzero rank (D-p-1) field strength tangent to the transverse dimensions. We find a family of such solutions in string theory and M-theory and investigate their properties.
متن کاملNucleation of p-branes and fundamental strings.
We construct a solution to the low-energy string equations of motion in five dimensions that describes a circular loop of fundamental string exponentially expanding in a background electric H-field. Euclideanising this gives an instanton for the creation of a loop of fundamental string in a background H-field, and we calculate the rate of nucleation. Solutions describing magnetically charged st...
