Brane Surgery with Thom Classes
We propose a method to investigate the conservation of brane charges at the intersection of two or more branes using the Thom classes of their normal bundles. In particular we find a relation between the charge of the branes involved in the configuration and the charge of the defects on the branes due to the intersection. We also explore the applications of our method for various brane intersec...
متن کاملMicrobundles and Thom Classes
In this note we introduce Thorn classes of microbundles. We determine the Thorn class of the Whitney sum as the cup product of Thorn classes and state two applications ; one to Gysin sequences of Whitney sums and one to the Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro duality theorem for Thorn spaces (cf. Atiyah [2]). Thus our main result states tha t for microbundles /xi, JU2 over a compact (topological) manifold X, i...
متن کاملBrane Surgery
Extended objects, known as ‘branes’, currently play an essential role in our understanding of the non-perturbative dynamics underlying tendimensional (D=10) superstring theories and the 11-dimensional (D=11) M-theory (see [1] for a recent review). In the context of the effective D=10 or D=11 supergravity theory a ‘p-brane’ is a solution of the field equations representing a p-dimensional extend...
متن کاملClasses of Degeneracy Loci for Quivers: the Thom Polynomial Point of View
The Chern classes for degeneracy loci of quivers are natural generalizations of the Thom-Porteous-Giambelli formula. Suppose that E, F are vector bundles over a manifold M and that s : E → F is a vector bundle homomorphism. The question is, which cohomology class is defined by the set 6k(s) ⊂ M consisting of points m where the linear map s(m) has corank k? The answer, due to I. Porteous, is a d...
متن کاملThe Motivic Thom Isomorphism
The existence of a good theory of Thom isomorphisms in some rational category of mixed Tate motives would permit a nice interpolation between ideas of Kontsevich on deformation quantization, and ideas of Connes and Kreimer on a Galois theory of renormalization, mediated by Deligne’s ideas on motivic Galois groups.
