Supersymmetric M5-branes with H-field
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we investigate the form of calibrated M5-branes in the presence of a nonvanishing 3-form field H. We discuss the influence of the H-field on the deformation of supersymmetric n-cycles (in particular SLAG submanifolds in R). In addition we argue for a construction which relates calibrated M5-branes of different “curved” dimensions to each other. ∗1 [email protected] [email protected]

Comments on Brane Configurations with Semi-infinite D4 Branes
We consider four dimensional supersymmetric gauge field theories from brane configurations with the matter content given by semi-infinite D4 branes ending on both sides of NS branes. In M theory configuration, we discuss the splitting of the M5 brane into infinite cylindrical M5 branes (which decouple) and transversal M5 brane. The splitting condition appears naturally from the consistency of t...
متن کاملMatrix Description of Intersecting M5 Branes
Novel 3+1 dimensional N = 2 superconformal field theories (with tensionless BPS string solitons) are believed to arise when two sets of M5 branes intersect over a 3+1 dimensional hyperplane. We derive a DLCQ description of these theories as supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the Higgs branch of suitable 4d N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories. Our formulation allows us to determine the scaling ...
متن کاملSupersymmetric States in M5/M2 CFTs
We propose an exact, finite N formula for the partition function over 1/4 BPS states in the conformal field theory on the world volume of N coincident M5 branes, and 1/8 BPS states in the theory of N conincident M2 branes. We obtain our partition function by performing the radial quantization of the Coulomb Branches of these theories and rederive the same formula from the quantization of supers...
متن کاملFour-dimensional SYM probes in wrapped M5-brane backgrounds
We study the worldvolume supersymmetric gauge theory of Mbranes probing backgrounds corresponding to wrapped M5-branes. In the case of M5-branes wrapping a 2-cycle in C2, we use M2-brane probes to compute the BPS spectra of the corresponding N = 2 gauge theory as well as M5-brane probes to calculate field theory parameters such as the gauge coupling, theta angle and complex scalar moduli space ...
متن کامل2d SCFTs from M2-branes
We consider the low-energy limit of the two-dimensional theory on k M2-branes suspended between a straight M5-brane and a curved M5-brane. We argue that it is described by an N=(2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theory with no matter fields but with a non-trivial twisted superpotential, and also by an N=(2, 2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg model, such that the (twisted) superpotentials are determined...
