Supergravity flows and D-brane stability
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the correspondence between existence/stability of BPS states in type II string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold and BPS solutions of four dimensional N=2 supergravity. Some paradoxes emerge, and we propose a resolution by considering composite configurations. This in turn gives a smooth effective field theory description of decay at marginal stability. We also discuss the connection with 3-pronged strings, the Joyce transition of special Lagrangian submanifolds, and Π-stability.

Stability of D brane Anti D brane Systems in Confining Gauge Theories
We study the stability of a special form of D brane embedding which is regarded as a bound state of Dn and anti-Dn-brane embedded in a 10D supergravity background which is dual to a confining gauge theory. For D5 branes with U(1) flux, their bound state configuration can be regarded as the baryonium vertex. For D branes of n=6 and 8 without the U(1) flux, their bound states have been used to in...
متن کاملDelocalized Supergravity Solutions for Brane/Anti-brane Systems and their Bound States
We obtain various solutions for D = 4 dipoles and their bound states whose U(1) fields originate from various form fields in the effective string theories. We oxidize such dipole solutions to D = 10 to obtain delocalized supergravity solutions for the brane/anti-brane pairs and their bound states. We speculate on generalized harmonic superposition rules for supergravity solutions for (intersect...
متن کاملLocalization of Supergravity on the Brane
A supersymmetric Randall-Sundrum brane-world demands that not merely the graviton but the entire supergravity multiplet be trapped on the brane. To demonstrate this, we present a complete ansatz for the reduction of (D = 5, N = 4) gauged supergravity to (D = 4, N = 2) ungauged supergravity in the Randall-Sundrum geometry. We verify that it is consistent to lowest order in fermion terms. In part...
متن کاملSupergravity approach to tachyon condensation on the brane-antibrane system
We study the tachyon condensation on the D-brane–antiD-brane system from the supergravity point of view. The non-supersymmetric supergravity solutions with symmetry ISO(p, 1) × SO(9 − p) are known to be characterized by three parameters. By interpreting this solution as coincident N Dp-branes and N̄ D̄p-branes we give, for the first time, an explicit representation of the three parameters of supe...
متن کاملA Stable Supergravity Dual of Non-supersymmetric Glue
We study non-supersymmetric fermion mass and condensate deformations of the AdS/CFT Correspondence. The 5 dimensional supergravity flows are lifted to a complete and remarkably simple 10 dimensional background. A brane probe analysis shows that when all the fermions have an equal mass a positive mass is generated for all six scalar fields leaving non-supersymmetric Yang Mills theory in the deep...
