A D2-brane realization of Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs systems
We show that N = 2 supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-SimonsHiggs systems in three dimension can be realized as gauge theories on a D2-brane in D8-branes background with a non-zero B-field. We reproduce a potential of Coulomb branch of the Chern-Simons theory as a potential of a D2-brane in a classical D8-brane solution and show that each Coulomb vacuum is realized by a D2-brane stabilized in the bul...
متن کاملChern-Simons Gauge Theories
We derive the general form for a three-dimensional scale-invariant field theory with N = 6 supersymmetry, SU(4) R-symmetry and a U(1) global symmetry. The results can be written in terms of a 3-algebra in which the triple product is not antisymmetric. For a specific choice of 3-algebra we obtain the N = 6 theories that have been recently proposed as models for M2-branes in an R/Zk orbifold back...
متن کاملSuperconformal Chern–Simons Theories
A Lagrangian description of a maximally supersymmetric conformal field theory in three dimensions was constructed recently by Bagger and Lambert (BL). The BL theory has SO(4) gauge symmetry and contains scalar and spinor fields that transform as 4-vectors. We verify that this theory has OSp(8|4) superconformal symmetry and that it is parity conserving despite the fact that it contains a Chern–S...
متن کاملSources for Chern-Simons theories
The coupling between Chern-Simons theories and matter sources defined by branes of different dimensionalities is examined. It is shown that the standard coupling to membranes, such as the one found in supergravity or in string theory, does not operate in the same way for CS theories; the only p-branes that naturally couple seem to be those with p = 2n; these p-branes break the gauge symmetry (a...
متن کاملA Note on Noncommutative Chern-Simons Theories
The three dimensional Chern-Simons theory on Rθ ×R is studied. Considering the gauge transformations under the group elements which are going to one at infinity, we show that under arbitrary (finite) gauge transformations action changes with an integer multiple of 2π if, the level of noncommutative Chern-Simons is quantized. We also briefly discuss the case of the noncommutative torus and some ...
