Bps M-brane Geometries
نویسنده
چکیده
In the search for a classification of BPS backgrounds with flux, we look at geometries that arise when M-branes wrap supersymmetric cycles in Calabi-Yau manifolds. We find constraints on the differential forms in the back-reacted manifolds and discover that the calibration corresponding to the (background generating) M-brane is a co-closed form.

Brane webs and 1/4–BPS geometries
We discuss brane webs preserving eight supercharges and derive geometries produced by them. Consistency conditions of supergravity are shown to impose certain requirements on the locations of the sources, and these restrictions are found to be in a perfect agreement with results of the probe analysis. In particular, solutions of IIB SUGRA describing (p, q) stings are inconsistent, unless the we...
متن کاملBubbling AdS space and 1/2 BPS geometries
We consider all 1/2 BPS excitations of AdS × S configurations in both type IIB string theory and M-theory. In the dual field theories these excitations are described by free fermions. Configurations which are dual to arbitrary droplets of free fermions in phase space correspond to smooth geometries with no horizons. In fact, the ten dimensional geometry contains a special two dimensional plane ...
متن کاملBrane Solitons and Hypercomplex Structures
The investigation of strings and M-theory involves the understanding of various BPS solitons which in a certain approximation can be thought of as solutions of tenand eleven-dimensional supergravity theories. These solitons have a brane or a intersecting brane interpretation, saturate a bound and are associated with parallel spinors with respect to a connection of the spin bundle of spacetime. ...
متن کاملNon-BPS D-brane Solutions in Six Dimensional Orbifolds
Starting with the non-BPS D0-brane solution of IIB/(−1)LI4 constructed recently by Eyras and Panda we construct via T-duality the non-BPS D2-brane and D1-brane solutions of IIB/(−1)LI4 and IIA/(−1)LI4 predicted by Sen. The D2-brane couples magnetically to the vector field of the NS5B-brane living in the twisted sector of the Type IIB orbifold, whereas the D1-brane couples (electrically and magn...
متن کاملEquivalent String Networks and Uniqueness of BPS States
We analyze string networks in 7-brane configurations in IIB string theory. We introduce a complex parameter M characterizing equivalence classes of networks on a fixed 7-brane background and specifying the BPS mass of the network as MBPS = |M|. We show that M can be calculated without knowing the particular representative of the BPS state. Based on detailed examination of backgrounds with three...
