Branes and instantons intersecting at angles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study in detail the system of D6 branes and euclidean D2-brane instantons intersecting at angles in type IIA string theory. We find that in the absence of orientifolds the system does not contribute to the low energy superpotential, in agreement with expectations based on effective field theory arguments. We also comment on the implications of our results for dual string theory pictures.

Instantons at Angles
We interpret a class of 4k-dimensional instanton solutions found by Ward, Corrigan, Goddard and Kent as four-dimensional instantons at angles. The super-position of each pair of four-dimensional instantons is associated with four angles which depend on some of the ADHM parameters. All these solutions are associated with the group Sp(k) and are examples of Hermitian-Einstein connections on E 4k....
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 کاملRotating Rotated Branes
We present a class of spacetime rotations that preserve a proportion of spacetime supersymmetry. We then give the rules for superposing these rotations with various branes to construct rotating brane solutions which preserve exotic fractions of supersymmetry. We also investigate the superposition of rotations with intersecting branes at angles and we find new rotating intersecting branes at ang...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Intersecting D6-branes and Fluxes in Massive Type IIA String Theory
We study N=1 supersymmetric four-dimensional solutions of massive Type IIA supergravity with intersecting D6-branes in the presence NS-NS three-form fluxes. We derive N=1 supersymmetry conditions for the D6-brane and flux configurations in an internal manifold X6 and derive the intrinsic torsion (or SU(3)-structure) related to the fluxes. In the absence of fluxes, N=1 supersymmetry implies that...
متن کاملSupersymmetry of M-branes at Angles
We determine the possible fractions of supersymmetry preserved by two intersecting M5-branes. These include the fractions 3/32 and 5/32 which have not occurred previously in intersecting brane configurations. Both occur in non-orthogonal pointlike intersections of M-5branes but 5/32 supersymmetry is possible only for specific fixed angles. e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail add...
