Q7-branes and their coupling to IIB supergravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how, by making use of a new basis of the IIB supergravity axion-dilaton coset, SL(2,R)/SO(2), 7-branes that belong to different conjugacy classes of the duality group SL(2,R) naturally couple to IIB supergravity with appropriate source terms characterized by an SL(2,R) charge matrix Q. The conjugacy classes are determined by the value of the determinant of Q. The (p, q) 7-branes are the branes in the conjugacy class detQ = 0. The 7-branes in the conjugacy class detQ > 0 are labelled by three numbers (p, q, r) which parameterize the matrix Q and will be called Q7-branes. We construct the full bosonic Wess–Zumino term for the Q7-branes. In order to realize a gauge invariant coupling of the Q7-brane to the gauge fields of IIB supergravity it is necessary to introduce an SL(2,R) doublet of two distinct Born–Infeld fields on the Q7-brane world-volume.

On superembedding approach to type IIB 7–branes
In search for a dynamical description of Q7-branes, which were known as solutions of supergravity equations and then conjectured to be dynamical objects of type IIB string theory, we study the superembedding description of 7-branes in curved type IIB supergravity superspace. With quite minimal and natural assumptions we have found that there is no place for Q7-branes as dynamical branes in supe...
متن کاملAn SL(2, Z) Multiplet of Type IIB Super Five-Branes
It is well-known that the low energy string theory admits a non-singular solitonic super five-brane solution which is the magnetic dual to the fundamental string solution. By using the symmetry of the type IIB string theory, we construct an SL(2, Z) multiplet of magnetically charged super five-branes starting from this solitonic solution. These solutions are characterized by two integral three-...
متن کاملHe Fractional D - Branes and Their Gauge Duals 1
We study the classical geometry associated to fractional D3-branes of type IIB string theory on IR/Z2 which provide the gravitational dual for N = 2 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. As one can expect from the lack of conformal invariance on the gauge theory side, the gravitational background displays a repulson-like singularity. It turns out however, that such singularity can be exci...

متن کاملGravity Dual of Superconformal Anomaly
The supergravity dual of superconformal anomaly in a four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory is investigated. We consider a well-established dual correspondence between the N = 1 SU(N +M) × SU(N) supersymmetric gauge theory with two flavors of matter fields in the bifundamental representation of gauge group and type IIB superstring in the space-time background furnished by the Klebanov-Str...
