Electrically and Magnetically Charged Branes

چکیده
We would like to build a general understanding of branes, the gauge fields to which they are coupled, and the gauge fields living on their world volume. First, we review electromagnetism in four dimensions. Define F (2) = dA as the field strength of the gauge field A. Then under a gauge transformation of the gauge field A by a total derivative d�, with � an arbitrary 0-form (or an arbitrary function):

Nucleation of p-branes and fundamental strings.
We construct a solution to the low-energy string equations of motion in five dimensions that describes a circular loop of fundamental string exponentially expanding in a background electric H-field. Euclideanising this gives an instanton for the creation of a loop of fundamental string in a background H-field, and we calculate the rate of nucleation. Solutions describing magnetically charged st...
متن کاملModuli Spaces and Brane Solitons for M - Theory Compactifications on Holonomy
We investigate the local geometry on the moduli space of G 2 structures that arises in compactifications of M-theory on holonomy G 2 manifolds. In particular, we determine the homogeneity properties of couplings of the associated N = 1, D = 4 supergravity under the scaling of moduli space coordinates. We then find some brane solitons of N = 1, D = 4 supergravity that are associated with wrappin...
متن کاملElectrically and magnetically charged vortices in the Chern–Simons–Higgs theory
In this paper, we prove the existence of finite-energy electrically and magnetically charged vortex solutions in the full Chern–Simons–Higgs theory, for which both the Maxwell term and the Chern–Simons term are present in the Lagrangian density. We consider both Abelian and non-Abelian cases. The solutions are smooth and satisfy natural boundary conditions. Existence is established via a constr...
متن کاملEnhanced Gauge Symmetries in Superstring Theories
Certain four-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric theories have special vacua in which massive charged vector supermultiplets become massless, resulting in an enhanced non-abelian gauge symmetry. We show here that any two N = 4 theories having the same Bogomolnyi spectrum at corresponding points of their moduli spaces have the same enhanced symmetry groups. In particular, the K 3 × T 2 compactified...
متن کاملString Dynamics near a Kaluza-klein Black Hole
The dynamics of a string near a Kaluza-Klein black hole are studied. Solutions to the classical string equations of motion are obtained using the world sheet velocity of light as an expansion parameter. The electrically and magnetically charged cases are considered separately. Solutions for string coordinates are obtained in terms of the world-sheet coordinate τ . It is shown that the Kaluza-Kl...
