Superalgebras in Many Types of M-Brane Backgrounds and Various Supersymmetric Brane Configurations

چکیده
We derive superalgebras in many types of supersymmetric M-brane backgrounds. The backgrounds examined here include the cases of the M-wave and the M-Kaluza-Klein monopole. On the basis of the obtained algebras, we deduce all the supersymmetric nonorthogonal intersections of the M-Kaluza-Klein monopole and the M-5-brane at angles. In addition, we present a 1/8 supersymmetric worldvolume three-brane soliton on the M-5brane in the M-5-brane background as an extended solution of the three-brane solitons of the M-5-brane by Howe, Lambert and West. This soliton can be interpreted as a certain intersection of three M-5-branes. [email protected]

Various Supersymmetric Brane Configurations from Superalgebras in Many Types of M-Brane Backgrounds
We derive superalgebras in many types of supersymmetric M-brane backgrounds. The backgrounds examined here include the cases of the M-wave and the M-Kaluza-Klein monopole. On the basis of the obtained algebras, we deduce all the supersymmetric nonorthogonal intersections of the M-Kaluza-Klein monopole and the M-5-brane at angles, most of which were previously unexamined. In addition, we present...
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 کاملThe Spacetime Superalgebras in a Massive Background via Brane Probes
We derive the spacetime superalgebras explicitly from “test” p-brane actions in a D8-brane (i.e. a massive IIA) background to the lowest order in θ via canonical formalism, and show that the forms of the superalgebras are the same as those in all the other D-brane (i.e. massless) backgrounds, that is, they are indifferent to the presence of the ChernSimons terms which is proportional to the mas...
متن کاملFrom D-D Pairs to Branes in Motion
We investigate various supersymmetric brane intersections. Motivated by the recent results on supertubes, we investigate general constraints in which parallel brane-antibrane configurations are supersymmetric. Dual descriptions of these configurations involve systems of intersecting branes in relative motion. In particular, we find new supersymmetric configurations which are not related to a st...
متن کاملBrane potentials and moduli spaces
It is shown that the supergravity moduli spaces of D1-D5 and D2-D6 brane systems coincide with those of the Coulomb branches of the associated non-abelian gauge theories. We further discuss situations in which worldvolume brane actions include a potential term generated by probing certain supergravity backgrounds. We find that in many cases, the appearance of the potential is due to the applica...
