BPS States in 10+2 Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a (10+2)D N = (1, 1) superalgebra and its projections to M-theory, type IIA and IIB algebras. From the complete classification of a second-rank central term valued in the so(10, 2) algebra, we find all possible BPS states coming from this term. We show that, among them, there are two types of 1/2-susy BPS configurations; one corresponds to a super (2+2)-brane while another one arises from a nilpotent element in so(10, 2).

BPS Solutions of Noncommutative Gauge Theories in Four and Eight Dimensions
We study the 1/4 BPS equations in the eight dimensional noncommutative YangMills theory found by Bak, Lee and Park. We explicitly construct some solutions of the 1/4 BPS equations using the noncommutative version of the ADHM-like construction in eight dimensions. From the calculation of topological charges, we show that our solutions can be interpreted as the bound states of the D0-D4-D8 with a...
متن کاملBPS Lumps and Their Intersections in N = 2 SUSY Nonlinear Sigma Models
BPS lumps in N = 2 SUSY nonlinear sigma models on hyper-Kähler manifolds in four dimensions are studied. We present new lump solutions with various kinds of topological charges. New BPS equations and a new BPS bound, expressed by the three complex structures on hyper-Kähler manifolds, are found. We show that any states satisfying these BPS equations preserve 1/8 (1/4) SUSY of N = 2 SUSY nonline...
متن کاملBPS Amplitudes, Helicity Supertraces and Membranes in M-Theory
We study BPS dominated loop amplitudes in M-theory on T 2. For this purpose we generalize the concept of helicity supertraces to nine spacetime dimensions. These traces distinguish between various massive supermultiplets and appear as coefficients in their one-loop contributions to n-graviton scattering amplitudes. This can be used to show that only ultrashort BPS multiplets contribute to the R...
متن کاملBps Supermultiplets in Five Dimensions
BPS representations of 5-dimensional supersymmetry algebras are classified. For BPS states preserving 1/2 the supersymmetry, there are two distinct classes of multiplets for N = 4 supersymmetry and three classes for N = 8 supersymmetry. For N = 4 matter theories, the two 1/2 supersymmetric BPS multiplets are the massive vector multiplet and the massive self-dual 2-form multiplet. Some applicati...
متن کاملBPS-spectra in four dimensions from M-theory
I review my work together with Piljin Yi [1] on the spectrum of BPS-saturated states in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. In an M -theory description, such states are realized as certain two-brane configurations. We first show how the central charge of the N = 2 algebra arises from the two-form central charge of the eleven-dimensional supersymmetry algebra, and derive the condition for ...
