Codimension One Branes
We study codimension one branes, i.e. p-branes in (p + 2)-dimensions, in the superembedding approach for the cases where the worldvolume superspace is embedded in a minimal target superspace with half supersymmetry breaking. This singles out the cases p = 1, 2, 3, 5, 9. For p = 3, 5, 9 the superembedding geometry naturally involves a fundamental super 2-form potential on the worldvolume whose g...
متن کاملCoincident (Super)–Dp–Branes of Codimension One
We consider properties of a covariant worldvolume action for a system of N coincident Dp– branes in D=(p+2) dimensional space–time (so called codimension one branes). In the case of N coincident D0–branes in D=2 we then find a generalization of this action to a model which includes fermionic degrees of freedom and is invariant under target–space supersymmetry and worldline kappa–symmetry. We fi...
متن کاملCodimension Two Branes and Distributional Curvature
In general relativity, there is a well-developed formalism for working with the approximation that a gravitational source is concentrated on a shell, or codimension one surface. By contrast, there are obstacles to concentrating sources on surfaces that have a higher co-dimension, for example, a string in a spacetime with dimension greater than or equal to four. Here it is shown that, by giving ...
متن کاملHigher codimension braneworlds from intersecting branes
We study the matching conditions of intersecting brane worlds in Lovelock gravity in arbitrary dimension. We show that intersecting various codimension 1 and/or codimension 2 branes one can find solutions that represent energymomentum densities localized in the intersection, providing thus the first examples of infinitesimally thin higher codimension braneworlds that are free of singularities a...
متن کاملMultifield Galileons and Higher Codimension Branes
In the decoupling limit, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model reduces to the theory of a scalar field π, with interactions including a specific cubic self-interaction—the Galileon term. This term, and its quartic and quintic generalizations, can be thought of as arising from a probe 3-brane in a five-dimensional bulk with Lovelock terms on the brane and in the bulk.We study multifield generalizati...
