Domain Walls on the Brane
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that all branes admit worldvolume domain wall solutions. We find one class of solutions for which the tension of the brane changes discontinuously along the domain wall. These solutions are not supersymmetric. We argue that there is another class of domain wall solutions which is supersymmetric. A particular case concerns supersymmetric domain wall solutions on IIB D-5-and NS-5-branes.

Formation of monopoles and domain walls after brane inflation
We study cosmological defect formation induced by brane creation after brane inflation. Contrary to the previous arguments, production of monopoles and domain walls are not negligible. Monopoles and domain walls are formed by the creation of daughter branes that are extended between mother branes.
متن کاملD-brane Configurations for Domain Walls and Their Webs
Supersymmetric U(NC) gauge theory with NF massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation admits various BPS solitons like domain walls and their webs. In the first part we show as a review of the previous paper [1] that domain walls are realized as kinky fractional D3-branes interpolating between separated D7-branes. In the second part we discuss brane configurations for domain wall ...
متن کاملThe Domain Walls of Gauged Maximal Supergravities and their M-theory Origin
We consider gauged maximal supergravities with CSO(p, q, r) gauge groups and their relation to the branes of string and M-theory. The gauge groups are characterised by n mass parameters, where n is the transverse dimension of the brane. We give the scalar potentials and construct the corresponding domain wall solutions. In addition, we show the higher-dimensional origin of the domain walls in t...
متن کاملFormation of cosmological brane defects
We study cosmological formation of D-term strings, axionic strings, domain walls and Q-balls in braneworld models of the Hanany-Witten type. For the Dterm strings, we show that the strings are the daughter branes extended between mother branes. We show that the domain walls can be produced by conventional cosmological phase transitions. In this case, the formation of the domain walls is induced...
متن کاملProbing Solitons in Brane Worlds
We study dynamics of a probe p-brane and a test particle in the field background of fully localized solutions describing the source p-brane within the worldvolume of the source domain wall. We find that the probe dynamics in the background of the source p-brane in one lower dimensions is not reproduced, indicating that p-branes within the worldvolume of domain walls perhaps describe an exotic p...
