Supersymmetric quantum mechanics from wrapped branes

چکیده
We explicitly construct a solution of eight-dimensional gauged supergravity representing D6-branes wrapped on six-cycles inside Calabi–Yau fourfolds. The solution preserves two supercharges and asymptotically is a cone with the coset space SU(2)/U(1) as its base. It is shown to correspond to an M-theory compactification on a Calabi–Yau manifold with SU(5) holonomy and we discuss in detail its geometrical and topological features. We also construct a family of related higher dimensional metrics having SU(n+1) holonomy, which of course have no brane interpretation.

Gauge Theories from D Branes
In these lectures we start with a pedagogical introduction of the properties of open and closed superstrings and then, using the open/closed string duality, we construct the boundary state that provides the description of the maximally supersymmetric Dp branes in terms of the perturbative string formalism. We then use it for deriving the corresponding supergravity solution and the Born-Infeld a...
متن کاملHolonomy from wrapped branes
Compactifications of M-theory on manifolds with reduced holonomy arise as the local eleven-dimensional description of D6-branes wrapped on supersymmetric cycles in manifolds of lower dimension with a different holonomy group. Whenever the isometry group SU(2) is present, eight-dimensional gauged supergravity is a natural arena for such investigations. In this paper we use this approach and revi...
متن کاملBaryon Spectra and AdS/CFT Correspondence
We provide a detailed map between wrapped D3-branes in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) backgrounds and dibaryon operators in the corresponding conformal field theory (CFT). The effective five dimensional action governing the dynamics of AdS space contains a U(1)R gauge field that mediates interactions between objects possessing R-charge. We show that the U(1)R charge of these wrapped D3-branes as measured...
متن کاملG 2 Manifolds , Mirror Symmetry and Geometric Engineering
We construct Calabi-Yau geometries with wrapped D6 branes which realize N = 1 supersymmetric A r quiver theories, and study the corresponding geometric transitions. This also yields new large N dualities for topological strings generalizing topological strings/large N Chern-Simons duality. Lifting up to M-theory yields smooth quantum geometric transitions without branes or fluxes, in the contex...
متن کاملBranes in AdS and pp-wave spacetimes
We find half supersymmetric AdS-embeddings in AdS5 × S5 corresponding to all quarter BPS orthogonal intersections of D3-branes with Dp-branes. A particular case is the Karch-Randall embedding AdS4 × S2. We explicitly prove that these embeddings are supersymmetric by showing that the kappa symmetry projections are compatible with half of the target space Killing spinors and argue that all these ...
