چکیده
We find a class of flat supersymmetric brane-antibrane configurations. They follow from ordinary brane-antibrane systems by turning on a specific worldvolume background electric field, which corresponds to dissolved fundamental strings. We have clarified in detail how they arise and identified their constituent charges as well as the corresponding supergravity solutions. Adopting the matrix theory description, we construct the worldvolume gauge theories and prove the absence of any tachyonic degrees. We also study supersymmetric soliton solutions of the worldvolume theories.

From D-D Pairs to Branes in Motion
We investigate various supersymmetric brane intersections. Motivated by the recent results on supertubes, we investigate general constraints in which parallel brane-antibrane configurations are supersymmetric. Dual descriptions of these configurations involve systems of intersecting branes in relative motion. In particular, we find new supersymmetric configurations which are not related to a st...
متن کاملAnomaly Analysis of Brane-Antibrane Systems
String theories with branes can often be generalized by adding brane-antibrane pairs. We explore the cancellation of anomalies in this more general context, extending the familiar anomaly-cancelling mechanisms, both for ten-dimensional string theories with D-branes and for certain supersymmetric compactifications.
متن کاملSupertubes connecting D4 branes
We find and explore a class of dyonic instanton solutions which can be identified as the supertubes connecting two D4 branes. They correspond to a single monopole string and a pair of monopole-antimonopole strings from the worldvolume view point of D4 branes. 1 Introduction Recently there has been a considerable study of the so called supertube solutions. Originally Mateos and Townsend construc...
متن کاملBrane/Antibrane Configurations in Type IIA and M Theory
The study of supersymmetry breaking configurations in string theory has been a topic of significant interest during the past year. Many of these constructions have focused on stringy realizations of ISS type vacua in supersymmetric gauge theories. Another interesting class of examples has recently emerged, though, which admit no effective gauge theory description and therefore are, in a sense, ...
متن کاملM-theory lift of brane-antibrane systems and localised closed string tachyons
We discuss the lift of certain D6-antiD6-brane systems to M-theory. These are purely gravitational configurations with a bolt singularity. When reduced along a trivial circle, and for large bolt radius, the bolt is related to a nonsupersymmetric orbifold type of singularity where some closed string tachyons are expected in the twisted sectors. This is a kind of open-closed string duality that r...
