Bound States of D(2p)-D0 Systems and Supersymmetric p-Cycles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss some issues related to D(2p)-D0 branes with background magnetic fluxes respectively, in a T-dual picture, Dp-Dp branes at angles. In particular, we describe the nature of the supersymmetric bound states appearing after tachyon condensation. We present a very elementary derivation of the conditions to be satisfied by such general supersymmetric gauge configurations, which are simply related by T-duality to the conditions for supersymmetric p-cycles in C. 12/2000 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected] 3 [email protected].

Bound States at Threshold in Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
We propose a general method that allows to detect the existence of normalizable ground states in supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems with non-Fredholm spectrum. We apply our method to show the existence of bound states at threshold in two important cases: 1) the quantum mechanical system describing H-monopoles; 2) the quantum mechanics of D0 branes. e-mail [email protected] Permanen...
متن کاملSupersymmetric D-brane Bound States with B-field and Higher Dimensional Instantons on Noncommutative Geometry
We classify supersymmetric D0-Dp bound states with a non-zero B-field by considering T-dualities of intersecting branes at angles. Especially, we find that the D0-D8 system with the B-field preserves 1/16, 1/8 and 3/16 of supercharges if the B-field satisfies the “(anti-)self-dual” condition in dimension eight. The D0-branes in this system are described by eight dimensional instantons on non-co...
متن کاملInvariance Theorems for Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories
We consider quantum mechanical Yang-Mills theories with eight supercharges and a Spin(5)× SU(2)R flavor symmetry. We show that all normalizable ground states in these gauge theories are invariant under this flavor symmetry. This includes, as a special case, all bound states of D0-branes and D4-branes. As a consequence, all bound states of D0-branes are invariant under the Spin(9) flavor symmetr...
متن کاملElliptic supertube and a Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield D2-brane–anti-D2-brane Pair
An exact solution, in which a D2-brane and an anti-D2-brane are connected by an elliptically tubular D2-brane, is obtained without any junction condition. The solution is shown to preserve one quarter of the supersymmetries of the type-IIA Minkowski vacuum. We show that the configuration cannot be obtained by “blowing-up” from some inhomogeneously D0-charged superstrings. The BPS bound tells us...
متن کاملD0-branes in flux 5-brane backgrounds
The existence of supersymmetric D0-branes sitting at an arbitrary distance from a flux 5-brane is proven. The physical picture in type IIA is consistent with the Kaluza-Klein reduction origin of the flux 5-brane. An analysis of the fluctuations around these vacua is performed and the backreaction of the D0-branes is computed. Non-threshold D0-D2 bound states and similar stabilization mechanisms...
