String Junctions and the BPS Spectrum of N=2 SU(2) Theory with Massive Matters
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the BPS spectrum of four dimensional N = 2 SU(2) theory with massive fundamental matters using the D3-brane probe. Since the BPS states are realized by string webs subject to the BPS conditions, we determine explicitly the configurations of such webs. It is observed that there appear BPS string webs with multiple of junctions corresponding to the fact that the curves of marginal stability in massive theory are infinitely nested. In terms of the string configurations, various properties of the curves of marginal stability are explained intuitively.

Geometric Realizations of BPS States in N=2 Theories
We study the BPS spectrum of the theory on a D3-brane probe in F theory. The BPS states are realized by multi-string configurations in spacetime. Only certain configurations obeying a selection rule give rise to BPS states in the four-dimensional probe theory. Using these string configurations, we determine the spectrum of N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills. We also explore the relation between multi-string ...
متن کاملNon-Abelian String Junctions as Confined Monopoles
Various dynamical regimes associated with confined monopoles in the Higgs phase of N = 2 two-flavor QCD are studied. The microscopic model we deal with has the SU(2)×U(1) gauge group, with a Fayet-Iliopoulos term of the U(1) factor, and large and (nearly) degenerate mass terms of the matter hypermultiplets. We present a complete quasiclassical treatment of the BPS sector of this model, includin...
متن کاملSupergravity Solution for Three-String Junction in M-theory
Three-String junctions are allowed configurations in II B string theory which preserve one-fourth supersymmetry. We obtain the 11-dimensional supergravity solution for curved membranes corresponding to these three-string junctions. In the last few years, there has been lot of interest on three-string junctions in Type II B string theory [1][7]. It was orginally postulated by Schwarz that string...
متن کاملBPS Geodesics in N = 2 Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory
We introduce some techniques for making a more global analysis of the existence of geodesics on a Seiberg-Witten Riemann surface with metric ds 2 = |λ SW | 2. Because the existence of such geodesics implies the existence of BPS states in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, one can use these methods to study the BPS spectrum in various phases of the Yang-Mills theory. By way of illustration,...
متن کاملPerturbative and Non - Perturbative Partial Supersymmetry Breaking
We show the existence of a supersymmetry breaking mechanism in string theory, where N = 4 supersymmetry is broken spontaneously to N = 2 and N = 1 with moduli dependent gravitino masses. The spectrum of the spontaneously broken theory with lower supersymmetry is in one-to-one correspondence with the spectrum of the heterotic N = 4 string. The mass splitting of the N = 4 spectrum depends on the ...
