The Moduli Spaces of Worldvolume Brane Solitons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute the moduli metrics of worldvolume 0-brane solitons of D-branes and the worldvolume self-dual string solitons of the M-5-brane and examine their geometry. We find that the moduli spaces of 0-brane solitons of D-4-branes and D-8-branes are hyper-Kähler manifolds with torsion and octonionic Kähler manifolds with torsion, respectively. The moduli space of the self-dual string soliton of the M-5-brane is also a hyper-Kähler manifold with torsion.

The Dynamics of D-3-brane Dyons and Toric Hyper-kähler Manifolds
We find the dyonic worldvolume solitons due to parallel (p,q) strings ending on a D-3-brane. These solutions preserve 1/4 of bulk supersymmetry. Then we investigate the scattering of well-separated dyons and find that their moduli space is a toric hyper-Kähler manifold. In addition, we present the worldvolume solitons of the D-3-brane which are related by duality to the M-theory configuration o...
متن کاملBrane potentials and moduli spaces
It is shown that the supergravity moduli spaces of D1-D5 and D2-D6 brane systems coincide with those of the Coulomb branches of the associated non-abelian gauge theories. We further discuss situations in which worldvolume brane actions include a potential term generated by probing certain supergravity backgrounds. We find that in many cases, the appearance of the potential is due to the applica...
متن کاملBogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield solitons in M5-brane worldvolume theory with a constant three-form field
Recently, noncommutative theories have received renewed interest, after it was found that noncommutative theories can be naturally realized in M theory compactified in the presence of constant three-form field background @1# and within string theories as the worldvolume theory of a D-brane with a nonzero constant Neveu-Schwarz ~NS! B field @2,3#. In the case of a D-brane with a constant magneti...
متن کاملT-duality and the Worldvolume Solitons of Five-Branes and KK-Monopoles
We show that the fluxes of the various six-dimensional “gauge” theories are associated to below threshold bound states of D-branes with the NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles which preserve half of bulk supersymmetry. We then present the supergravity solutions that correspond to these bound states. In addition using the worldvolume solitons of IIA and IIB NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles, we investigate ...
متن کاملAnomalies and O-plane charges in orientifolded brane tilings
We investigate orientifold of brane tilings. We clarify how the cancellations of gauge anomaly and Witten’s anomaly are guaranteed by the conservation of the D5-brane charge. We also discuss the relation between brane tilings and the dual Calabi-Yau cones realized as the moduli spaces of gauge theories. Two types of flavor D5-branes in brane tilings and corresponding superpotentials of fundamen...
