Zero modes for the D=11 membrane and five-brane.
نویسندگان
چکیده
There exist extremal p-brane solutions of D=11 supergravity for p=2 and 5. In this paper we investigate the zero modes of the membrane and the fivebrane solutions as a first step toward understanding the full quantum theory of these objects. It is found that both solutions possess the correct number of normalizable zero modes dictated by supersymmetry. Typeset using REVTEX 1

The massive Elko spinor field in the de Sitter braneworld model
The Elko spinor field is a spin 1/2 fermionic quantum field with a mass dimension introduced as a candidate of dark matter. In this work, we study the localization of Elko fields on a de Sitter thick brane constructed by a canonical or phantom scalar field. By presenting the mass-independent potentials of Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in the corresponding Schrödinger equations, it is shown that the E...
متن کاملFermion Zero Modes and Cosmological Constant
A general condition for the existence of fermion zero modes is derived for the M-5brane, the M-2-brane and the D = 4, N = 2 Majumdar-Papapetrou 0-brane. The fermion zero modes of these p-branes do not exist if the supersymmetry spinor generator goes to a constant at the horizon and they exist only if it vanishes there. In particular it is shown that the fermion zero mode of the M-2-brane in D =...
متن کاملLocalized gravity on de Sitter brane in five dimensions
We consider a single brane embedded in five dimensions with vanishing and positive bulk cosmological constant. In this setup, the existence of dS4 brane is allowed. We explore the gravitational fluctuations on the brane, and we point out that the usual four-dimensional gravity can be reproduced by a normalizable zero mode and that the continuous massive modes are separated by a mass gap from ze...
متن کاملCoupling of M–branes in M–theory
Coupling of a membrane and a five-brane to the bosonic sector of D = 11 supergravity is considered. The five–brane is a dyonic object which carries both an electric and a magnetic charge of the D = 11 three-form gauge field A, and it couples not only to A but also minimally couples to a six-form field A dual to A. This implies that the 5-brane should more naturally couple to a version of D = 11...
متن کاملLocalization of graviphoton and graviscalar on the brane
The question of whether the Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviphoton h 5µ and graviscalar h 55 are localized or not on the brane is one of the important issues. In this letter, we address this problem in five dimensions. Here we consider the massless (zero-mode) propagations without requiring the Z 2-symmetry on h 5µ. We obtain the graviton h µν , graviphoton, and graviscalar exchange amplitudes on shell....
