Exotic Branes and Nonperturbative Seven Branes
We construct the effective action of certain exotic branes in the Type II theories which are not predicted by their spacetime supersymmetry algebras. We analyze in detail the case of the NS-7B brane, S-dual to the D7-brane, and connected by T-duality to other exotic branes in Type IIA: the KK-6A brane and the KK-8A brane (obtained by reduction of the M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopole and M9-brane,...
متن کاملExotic branes and nongeometric backgrounds.
When string or M theory is compactified to lower dimensions, the U-duality symmetry predicts so-called exotic branes whose higher-dimensional origin cannot be explained by the standard string or M-theory branes. We argue that exotic branes can be understood in higher dimensions as nongeometric backgrounds or U folds, and that they are important for the physics of systems which originally contai...
متن کاملRamond-Ramond Fields, Cohomology and Non-Geometric Fluxes
We consider compactifications of type II string theory in which a d-dimensional torus is fibered over a base X. In string theory, the transition functions of this fibration need not be simply diffeomorphisms of T d but can involve elements of the T-duality group Spin(d, d,Z). We precisely define the notion of a T-fold with NSNS flux. Given such a T-fold, we define the Z2-graded cohomology theor...
متن کاملEffective descriptions of branes on non-geometric tori
We investigate the low-energy effective description of non-geometric compactifications constructed by T-dualizing two or three of the directions of a T 3 with non-vanishing H-flux. Our approach is to introduce a D3-brane in these geometries and to take an appropriate decoupling limit. In the case of two T-dualities, we find at low energies a non-commutative T 2 fibered non-trivially over an S1....
متن کاملExotic E11 branes as composite gravitational solutions
A two-parameter group element is presented that interpolates between M-brane solutions. The group element is used to interpret a number of exotic branes related to the generators of the adjoint representation of E11 as non-marginal half-BPS bound states of M-branes. It is conjectured that the adjoint representation of E11 contains only generators related to bound states of fundamental M-branes ...
