چکیده
We discuss various dual pairs of M-theory compactifications. Each pair consists of a compactification in which the two-brane plays the central role in relation to a string theory and a compactification in which the five-brane takes center stage. We show that in many examples such dual pairs are interchanged by the same duality transformation in each case.

Dilaton, moduli and string/five-brane duality as seen from four dimensions. Abstract A naive dimensional reduction of the N = 1, D = 10 supergravity theory that naturally arises in five-brane models is used to determine the rôle of two fields which are basic ingredients of string models: the dilaton and, among the moduli, the breathing mode. It is shown that, under the duality transformation th...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملBrane Cosmic String Compactification in Brans-Dicke Theory
The search of an alternative compactification of extra dimensions is a very interesting tool to analyze the hierarchy problem in string theory. Among other physical implications they provide a beautiful scenario of our universe insering it on a brane [1, 2]. In the RandallSundrum (RS) model there are two 3-branes in a quite glance orbifold with Z2 symmetry in five dimensions [3]. A warp factor ...

The M-theory origin of brane creation processes is discussed. e-mail: [email protected] Recently Hanany and Witten[1] have shown how to derive non-perturbative results for (three-dimensional) field theory starting from ten-dimensional type IIB. In the course of the discussion they derived certain brane transition rules which show that when certain branes cross, other branes are create...

We present the generalized Friedmann equations describing the cosmological evolution of a finite thick brane immeresed in a five-dimensional Schwarzschild Anti-de Sitter spacetime. A linear term in the density in addition to a quatratic one arises in the Friedmann equation, leading to the standard cosmological evolution at late times without introducing an ad hoc tension term for the brane. The...
