Intersection Rules and Open Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
A general rule determining how extremal branes can intersect in a configuration with zero binding energy is presented. It is derived in a model independent way and without explicit use of supersymmetry, solving a set of classical equations of motion. When specializing to M and type II theories, it is shown that some intersection rules can be consistently interpreted as boundary rules for open branes ending on other branes.

Intersection Rules for S-Branes
We give a model-independent derivation of general intersecting rules for spacelike branes (S-branes) in arbitrary dimensions d. This is achieved by directly solving bosonic field equations for supergravity coupled to a dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields with minimal ansätze. We compare the results with those in eleven-dimensional supergravity and other solutions. ∗e-mail address: ohta@phys...
متن کاملModuli Webs and Superpotentials for Five-Branes
We investigate the one-parameter Calabi-Yau models and identify families of D5-branes which are associated to lines embedded in these manifolds. The moduli spaces are given by sets of Riemann curves, which form a web whose intersection points are described by permutation branes. We arrive at a geometric interpretation for bulk-boundary correlators as holomorphic differentials on the moduli spac...
متن کاملFrom D-D Pairs to Branes in Motion
We investigate various supersymmetric brane intersections. Motivated by the recent results on supertubes, we investigate general constraints in which parallel brane-antibrane configurations are supersymmetric. Dual descriptions of these configurations involve systems of intersecting branes in relative motion. In particular, we find new supersymmetric configurations which are not related to a st...
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 کاملAnomalous Creation of Branes
In certain circumstances when two branes pass through each other a third brane is produced stretching between them. We explain this phenomenon by the use of chains of dualities and the in ow of charge that is required for the absence of chiral gauge anomalies when pairs of D-branes intersect. At large distances D-branes [1, 2] interact through the long-range elds of supergravity. At substringy ...
