Intersecting Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
BPS configurations of intersecting branes have many applications in string theory. We attempt to provide an introductory and pedagogical review of supergravity solutions corresponding to orthogonal BPS intersections of branes with an emphasis on eleven and ten space-time dimensions. Recent work on BPS solutions corresponding to nonorthogonally intersecting branes is also discussed. These notes are based on lectures given at the APCTP Winter School “Dualities of Gauge and String Theories”, Korea, February 1997.

Intersecting M-branes as Four-Dimensional Black Holes
We present two 1/8 supersymmetric intersecting p-brane solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity which upon compactification to four dimensions reduce to extremal dyonic black holes with finite area of horizon. The first solution is a configuration of three intersecting 5-branes with an extra momentum flow along the common string. The second describes a system of two 2-branes and two 5-branes. R...
متن کاملIntersecting D7-Branes, I5-Branes and Conifolds
A candidate supergravity solution of intersecting D7-branes with a fivedimensional intersecting domain (an I5-brane) is presented. This displays an enhanced Poincare symmetry and supersymmetry away from the brane cores. We also explore the possibility of a relation between the intersection region of D7-branes and conifolds through F-theory.
متن کاملIntersecting Noncommutative M5-branes from Covariant Open Supermembrane
We study intersecting noncommutative (NC) M5-branes from κ-invariance of an open supermembrane action with constant three-form fluxes. The κ-invariance gives rise to possible D-brane configurations for which projection operators can be determined. We construct projection operators for two types of 1/4 BPS intersecting NC M5-branes. The one is an intersection of two NC M5-branes: NC M5⊥NC M5 (3)...
متن کاملNon-Extreme Black Holes from Non-Extreme Intersecting M-branes
We present non-extreme generalisations of intersecting p-brane solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity which upon toroidal compactification reduce to non-extreme static black holes in dimensions D = 4, D = 5 and 6 ≤ D ≤ 9, parameterized by four, three and two charges, respectively. The D = 4 black holes are obtained either from a non-extreme configuration of three intersecting five-branes ...
متن کاملYukawa cosmology and intersecting brane models
In string theory, stabilization of moduli fields and their cosmological implications have been discussed by many authors. In this paper we do not consider conventional modulus, nor relative distance between two branes. We focus our attention to a relative position of three branes and discuss its cosmological problem. In general, stabilization of the relative position of three intersecting brane...
