Supersymmetry of Rotating Branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new 1/8 supersymmetric intersecting M-brane solution of D=11 supergravity with two independent rotation parameters. The metric has a non-singular event horizon and the near-horizon geometry is adS3×S×S×E (just as in the non-rotating case). We also present a method of determining the isometry supergroup of supergravity solutions from the Killing spinors and use it to show that for the near horizon solution it is D(2|1, α)× D(2|1, α) where α is the ratio of the two 3-sphere radii. We also consider various dimensional reductions of our solution, and the corresponding effect of these reductions on the Killing spinors and the isometry supergroups. ∗Permanent address: Department of Physics, McGill University, Montréal, PQ, H3A 2T8, Canada †Permanent address: DAMTP, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 9EW, U.K.

Rotating Rotated Branes
We present a class of spacetime rotations that preserve a proportion of spacetime supersymmetry. We then give the rules for superposing these rotations with various branes to construct rotating brane solutions which preserve exotic fractions of supersymmetry. We also investigate the superposition of rotations with intersecting branes at angles and we find new rotating intersecting branes at ang...
متن کاملThermodynamic Stability and Phases of General Spinning Branes
We determine the thermodynamic stability conditions for near-extreme rotating D3, M5, and M2-branes with multiple angular momenta. Critical exponents near the boundary of stability are discussed and compared with a naive field theory model. From a partially numerical computation we conclude that outside the boundary of stability, the angular momentum density tends to become spatially inhomogene...
متن کاملBranes at angles, torons, stability and supersymmetry
We elucidate some properties of the relation between two T-dual systems in tori, branes at angles and branes wrapping the whole torus carrying fluxes. We analyze different features of these systems: charges, low energy spectrum, tadpole cancellation, symmetry groups, ... and the correspondence between the two viewpoints. Particular attention is paid to supersymmetry and stability conditions. Wh...
متن کاملThe Spacetime Superalgebras from M-branes in M-brane Backgrounds
We derive the spacetime superalgebras explicitly from “test” M-brane actions in Mbrane backgrounds to the lowest order in θ via canonical formalism, and discuss various BPS saturated configurations, based on their central charges which depend on the harmonic functions determined by the backgrounds. All the 1/4 supersymmetric intersections of two M-branes obtained previously are deduced from the...
متن کاملBranes in Matrix Theory
We construct BPS states in the matrix description of M-theory. Starting from a set of basic M-theory branes, we study pair intersections which preserve supersymmetry. The fractions of the maximal supersymmetry obtained in this way are 1 2 , 1 4 , 1 8 , 3 16 and 1 16. In explicit examples we establish that the matrix BPS states correspond to (intersecting) brane configurations that are obtained ...
متن کاملLight - Cone Supersymmetry and D - Branes
D-brane boundary states for type II superstrings are constructed by enforcing the conditions that preserve half of the space-time supersymmetry. A light-cone coordinate frame is used where time is identified as one of the coordinates transverse to the brane's (euclidean) world-volume so that the p-brane is treated as a (p + 1)-instanton. The boundary states have the superspace interpretation of...
