The Self-Dual String and Anomalies in the M5-brane
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the anomalies of a charge Q2 self-dual string solution in the Coulomb branch of Q5 M5-branes. Cancellation of these anomalies allows us to determine the anomaly of the zero-modes on the self-dual string and their scaling with Q2 and Q5. The dimensional reduction of the five-brane anomalous couplings then lead to certain anomalous couplings for D-branes.

Brane-intersection Dynamics from Branes in Brane Backgrounds
We derive the dynamics of M-brane intersections from the worldvolume action of one brane in the background supergravity solution of another one. In this way we obtain an effective action for the self-dual string boundary of an M2-brane in an M5-brane, and show that the dynamics of the 3-brane intersection of two M5-branes is described by a Dirac-Born-Infeld action.

متن کاملBPS Solitons in M5-Brane Worldvolume Theory with Constant Three-Form Field
We study BPS solutions for a self-dual string and a neutral string in M5-brane worldvolume theory with constant three-form field. We further generalize such solitons to superpose with a calibrated surface. We also study a traveling wave on a calibrated surface in the constant three-form field background.

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 کاملThe Self - dual String Soliton in AdS 4 × S 7 spacetime
We construct a self-dual string soliton solution in AdS4×S spacetime, starting from the covariant equations of motion of M5-brane. We study the properties of the solution and find that it is half-BPS and has the same electric and magnetic charge. The straight string soliton solution behaves like the spiky solution in flat spacetime. Email:[email protected]
متن کاملBranes on the Brane
We show that four-dimensional N = 2 ungauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity can be embedded on the Randall-Sundrum 3-brane, as a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of five-dimensional N = 4 gauged supergravity. In particular, this allows us to describe four-dimensional Reissner-Nordström black holes within the Randall-Sundrum scenario. Using earlier results on the embedding of five-dimensional N ...
