Liouville/Toda central charges from M5-branes
We show that the central charge of the Liouville and ADE Toda theories can be reproduced by equivariantly integrating the anomaly eight-form of the corresponding six-dimensional N = (0, 2) theories, which describe the low-energy dynamics of M5-branes.
متن کاملAdS spacetimes from wrapped M5 branes
We derive a complete geometrical characterisation of a large class of AdS3, AdS4 and AdS5 supersymmetric spacetimes in eleven-dimensional supergravity using G-structures. These are obtained as special cases of a class of supersymmetric R1,1, R1,2 and R1,3 geometries, naturally associated to M5-branes wrapping calibrated cycles in manifolds with G2, SU (3) or SU (2) holonomy. Specifically, the l...
متن کاملM2-branes stretching between M5-branes
A generalization of Nahm’s equation has been recently conjectured by Basu and Harvey to be the BPS condition describing the bound state of a stack of M2branes ending on an M5-brane. In this note exact solutions are presented for the proposed BPS equation – which is from the point of view of the M2-brane world-volume dynamics – with boundary conditions appropriate for M2-branes stretching betwee...
متن کاملIntersecting M2– and M5–branes
If an M2–brane intersects an M5–brane the canonical Wess–Zumino action is plagued by a Dirac–anomaly, i.e. a non–integer change of the action under a change of Dirac–brane. We show that this anomaly can be eliminated at the expense of a gravitational anomaly supported on the intersection manifold. Eventually we check that the last one is cancelled by the anomaly produced by the fermions present...
متن کاملKähler Uniformization from Holographic Renormalization Group Flows of M5-branes
In this paper, we initiate the study of holographic renormalization group flows acting on the metric of four-manifolds. In particular, we derive a set of equations which govern the evolution of a generic Kähler four-manifold along the renormalization group flow in sevendimensional gauged supergravity. The physical eleven-dimensional M-theory setup is given by a stack of M5-branes wrapping a cal...
