Worldvolume supersymmetries for branes in plane waves
We study the worldvolume supersymmetries of M2 branes in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave background of M theory. For certain embeddings the standard probe analysis indicates that the worldvolume theory has less than 16 supersymmetries. We show that at the quadratic level the worldvolume theory admits additional linearly realized supersymmetries, and that the spectra of the branes are or...
متن کاملBps Bounds for Worldvolume Branes
The worldvolume field equations of M-branes and D-branes are known to admit pbrane soliton solutions. These solitons are shown to saturate a BPS-type bound on their p-volume tensions, which are expressed in terms of central charges that are expected to appear in the worldvolume supertranslation algebra. The cases we consider include vortices, ‘BIons’, instantons and dyons (both abelian and non-...
متن کاملKilling Spinors, Supersymmetries and Rotating Intersecting Branes
A configuration of gravitational and matter fields is said to possess a symmetry if there is an infinitesimal coordinate transformation, associated with some non-zero vector field ξ, that leaves invariant all fields, including the metric. The invariance of the metric implies that ξ is Killing and the set of all such fields closes under commutation to define the symmetry algebra of the field con...
متن کاملIIB PP-Waves with Extra Supersymmetries
We examine Killing spinor equations of the general IIB pp-wave backgrounds, which contain a scalar H(xm, x) in the metric and a self-dual four-form ξ(xm, x) in the self-dual five-form flux. We find that if the backgrounds admit at least one extra Killing spinor characterized by mutually commuting projection operators in addition to 16 standard Killing spinors, backgrounds must reduce to the for...
متن کاملOn Plane Waves for Mode-I Crack Problem in Generalized Thermoelasticity
A general model of the equations of generalized thermoelasticity for an infinite space weakened by a finite linear opening Mode-I crack is solving. The material is homogeneous and has isotropic properties of elastic half space. The crack is subjected to prescribed temperature and stress distribution. The formulation is applied to generalized thermoelasticity theories, the Lord-Şhulman...
