Dyonic Anomalies

چکیده
We consider the problem of coupling a dyonic p-brane in d = 2p+ 4 space-time dimensions to a prescribed (p+2)-form field strength. This is particularly subtle when p is odd. For the case p = 1, we explicitly construct a coupling functional, which is a sum of two terms: one which is linear in the prescribed field strength, and one which describes the coupling of the brane to its self-field and takes the form of a Wess-Zumino term depending only on the embedding of the brane world-volume into space-time. We then show that this functional is well-defined only modulo a certain anomaly, related to the Euler class of the normal bundle of the brane world-volume.

Rotating dyonic dipole black rings: exact solutions and thermodynamics
New rotating dyonic dipole black ring solutions are derived in 5D Einsteindilaton gravity with antisymmetric forms. The black rings are analyzed and their thermodynamics is discussed. New dyonic black string solutions are also presented.
متن کاملThe Heterotic Dyonic
The static Yang-Mills-Higgs dyonic instanton is shown to have a non-vanishing, but anti-self-dual, angular momentum 2-form with skew eigenvalues equal to the electric charge; for large charge the angular momentum causes the instanton to expand into a hyper-spherical shell. A class of exact multi dyonic instantons is then found and then generalized to a new class of 1/4 supersymmetric, non-singu...
متن کاملGenerating dyonic solutions in 5D low-energy string theory and dyonic black rings
We consider a 5-dimensional effective low-energy string theory. Assuming staticity and a restriction on the dilaton coupling parameters, we derive 4dimensional sigma-model with a target space SL(2, R)/SO(1, 1)×SL(2, R)/SO(1, 1). On this basis, using the symmetries of the target space, we develop a solution generating technique and employ it to construct new asymptotically flat and non-flat dyon...
متن کاملDyonic P-branes from Self-dual (p+1)-branes
The 'electromagnetic' Sl(2; Z) duality group in spacetime dimension D = 4k can be given a Kaluza-Klein interpretation in D = 4k + 2 as the modular group of a compactifying torus. We show how dyonic 2(k − 1)-branes in D = 4k can be interpreted as self-dual (2k − 1)-branes in D = 4k + 2 wound around the homology cycles of the torus. In particular, dyons of the D=4 N=4 heterotic string theory are ...
متن کاملDyons, K-theory and M-theory
We study the dyonic charge of type IIA D6-branes interpreted as M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopoles. The connection between the dyonic properties of type IIA D6-branes and the existence of eleven dimensions is discussed. We also study dyonic properties of noncommutative monopoles. Variations of the external antisymmetric B-field generate the electric charge of non-commutative dyons. E-mail: cesar.g...
