Domain Walls from M-branes
We discuss the vertical dimensional reduction of M-branes to domain walls in D = 7 and D = 4, by dimensional reduction on Ricci-flat 4-manifolds and 7-manifolds. In order to interpret the vertically-reduced 5-brane as a domain wall solution of a dimensionally-reduced theory in D = 7, it is necessary to generalise the usual Kaluza-Klein ansatz, so that the 3-form potential in D = 11 has an addit...
متن کاملDomain walls of gauged supergravity, M-branes, and algebraic curves
We provide an algebraic classification of all supersymmetric domain wall solutions of maximal gauged supergravity in four and seven dimensions, in the presence of nontrivial scalar fields in the coset SL(8, IR)/SO(8) and SL(5, IR)/SO(5) respectively. These solutions satisfy first-order equations, which can be obtained using the method of Bogomol’nyi. From an eleven-dimensional point of view the...
متن کاملD-branes from M-branes
The 2-brane and 4-brane solutions of ten dimensional IIA supergravity have a dual interpretation as Dirichlet-branes, or 'D-branes', of type IIA superstring theory and as 'M-branes' of an S 1-compactified eleven dimensional supermembrane theory, or M-theory. This eleven-dimensional connection is used to determine the ten-dimensional Lorentz covariant worldvolume action for the Dirichlet super 2...
متن کاملFrom soft walls to infrared branes
Five-dimensional warped spaces with soft walls are generalizations of the standard Randall-Sundrum compactifications, where instead of an infrared brane one has a curvature singularity (with vanishing warp factor) at finite proper distance in the bulk. We project the physics near the singularity onto a hypersurface located a small distance away from it in the bulk. This results in a completely ...
متن کاملVortices, Q-balls and Domain Walls on Dielectric M2-branes
We study BPS solitons in N = 6 U(N)×U(N) Chern-Simons-matter theory deformed by an F-term mass. The F-term mass generically breaks N = 6 supersymmetry down to N = 2. At vacua, M2-branes are polarized into a fuzzy S3 forming a spherical M5-brane with topology R1,2×S3. The polarization is interpreted as Myers’ dielectric effect caused by an anti-self-dual 4-form flux T4 in the eleven-dimensional ...
