Branes at angles, torons, stability and supersymmetry

چکیده
We elucidate some properties of the relation between two T-dual systems in tori, branes at angles and branes wrapping the whole torus carrying fluxes. We analyze different features of these systems: charges, low energy spectrum, tadpole cancellation, symmetry groups, ... and the correspondence between the two viewpoints. Particular attention is paid to supersymmetry and stability conditions. While on the branes at angles side stability and supersymmetry can be expressed as conditions on the angles between the two branes at the intersection, on the dual side supersymmetry has to do with a correction to Hermite Yang-Mills and a modified notion of stability should be considered.

Rotating Rotated Branes
We present a class of spacetime rotations that preserve a proportion of spacetime supersymmetry. We then give the rules for superposing these rotations with various branes to construct rotating brane solutions which preserve exotic fractions of supersymmetry. We also investigate the superposition of rotations with intersecting branes at angles and we find new rotating intersecting branes at ang...
متن کاملSupersymmetry of M-branes at Angles
We determine the possible fractions of supersymmetry preserved by two intersecting M5-branes. These include the fractions 3/32 and 5/32 which have not occurred previously in intersecting brane configurations. Both occur in non-orthogonal pointlike intersections of M-5branes but 5/32 supersymmetry is possible only for specific fixed angles. e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail add...
متن کاملRealization of D4-Branes at Angles in Super Yang-Mills Theory
An explicit solution in super Yang-Mills theory, which after T-duality describes two sets of D4-branes at angles, is constructed. The gauge configuration possesses 3/16 unbroken supersymmetry, and can be considered as the counterpart of the solution of D = 11 supergravity with the same amount of supersymmetry in the solutions given by Gauntlett et al. The energy of the Born-Infeld action of the...
متن کاملMulti-angle Five-Brane Intersections
We find new solutions of IIA supergravity which have the interpretation of intersecting NS-5-branes at Sp(2)-angles on a string preserving at least 3/32 of supersymmetry. We show that the relative position of every pair of NS-5-branes involved in the superposition is determined by four angles. In addition we explore the related configurations in IIB strings and M-theory.
متن کاملSupersymmetric Intersecting D6-branes and Fluxes in Massive Type IIA String Theory
We study N=1 supersymmetric four-dimensional solutions of massive Type IIA supergravity with intersecting D6-branes in the presence NS-NS three-form fluxes. We derive N=1 supersymmetry conditions for the D6-brane and flux configurations in an internal manifold X6 and derive the intrinsic torsion (or SU(3)-structure) related to the fluxes. In the absence of fluxes, N=1 supersymmetry implies that...
