Comments on the IIA NS5-brane

چکیده
We study N coincident IIA NS5-branes at large N using supergravity. We show that the absorption cross section for gravitons in this background does not vanish at zero string coupling for energies larger than ms √ N (ms is the string scale). Using a holographic description of the intrinsic theory of the IIA NS5-branes, we find an expression for the two point function of the stress energy tensor, and comment on its structure.

Thermodynamics of the Near-Extremal NS5-brane
We consider the thermodynamics of the near-extremal NS5-brane in type IIA string theory. The central tool we use is to map phases of six-dimensional Kaluza-Klein black holes to phases of near-extremal M5-branes with a transverse circle in eleven-dimensional supergravity. By S-duality these phases correspond to phases of the near-extremal type IIA NS5-brane. One of our main results is that in th...
متن کامل( NS 5 , D p ) and ( NS 5 , D ( p + 2 ) , D p ) bound states of type IIB and type IIA string theories
(NS5, Dp) and (NS5, D(p + 2), Dp) bound states of type IIB and type IIA string theories ABSTRACT Starting from the (q, p) 5-brane solution of type IIB string theory, we here construct the low energy configuration corresponding to (NS5, Dp)-brane bound states (for 0 ≤ p ≤ 4) using the T-duality map between type IIB and type IIA string theories. We use the SL(2, Z) symmetry on the type IIB bound ...
متن کاملNS Fivebrane and Tachyon Condensation
We argue that a semi-infinite D6-brane ending on an NS5-brane can be obtained from the condensation of the tachyon on the unstable D9-brane of type IIA theory. The construction uses a combination of the descriptions of these branes as solitons of the worldvolume theory of the D9-brane. The NS5-brane, in particular, involves a gauge bundle which is operator valued, and hence is better thought of...
متن کاملGerbes and Massive Type II Configurations
We find novel bound states of NS5, D6 and D8-branes in massive type IIA string theory. As the NS gauge transformations can change the Chern class of the RR field these configurations should be thought of as nonlocal objects called gerbes. We develop a global formalism for theories that involve massive tensor fields in general, and apply it in massive type IIA supergravity. We investigate the T-...
متن کاملBraneworld localisation in hyperbolic spacetime
We present a construction employing a type IIA supergravity and 3-form flux background together with an NS5-brane that localises massless gravity near the 5-brane worldvolume. The nonsingular underlying type IIA solution is a lift to 10D of the vacuum solution of the 6D Salam-Sezgin model and has a hyperbolicH(2,2)×S1 structure in the lifting dimensions. A fully back-reacted solution including ...
