Kaluza-klein Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine Kaluza-Klein branes in detail. Specifically, we show that codimension four submanifolds that are stationary under a semi-free circle action may be interpreted as branes or antibranes in the Kaluza-Klein reduced space that are magnetically charged under the Kaluza-Klein field strength. We derive the equation in cohomology that is satisfied by such a brane using an explicit construction of the Thom class of the normal bundle of the brane worldvolume in the reduced space. This may be applied to both the D6-brane of Type IIA String Theory, and also to various recent constructions of magnetic branes immersed in fluxbrane backgrounds. We then go on to study the special case of monopole-antimonopole production in a five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory, illustrating our arguments with various concrete examples.

Half-Branes, Singular Brane Intersections, and Kaluza-Klein reduction
Two subtle aspects of brane intersections are investigated. The first concerns the ‘half-branes’ that arise in discussions of the Hanany-Witten effect, often in the D0/D8 setting. The second involves the validity of seemingly singular classical BPS brane intersections. A study of holomorphic curves in the background of a Kaluza-Klein monopole and the associated reduction to type IIA supergravit...
متن کاملMass Gap in Kaluza-Klein Spectrum in a Network of Brane Worlds
We consider the Newton’s force law for brane world consisting of periodic configuration of branes. We show that it supports a massless graviton. Furthermore, this massless mode is well separated from the Kaluza-Klein spectrum by a mass gap. Thus most of the problems in phenomenology coming from continuum of Kaluza-Klein modes without mass gap are potentially cured in such a model.
متن کاملKaluza-Klein Black Holes in String Theory
Non-supersymmetric black holes carrying both electric and magnetic charge with respect to a single Kaluza-Klein gauge field have much in common with supersymmetric black holes. Angular momentum conservation and other general physics principles underlies some of their basic features. Kaluza-Klein black holes are interpreted in string theory as bound states of D6-branes and D0branes. The microsco...
متن کاملComment on Kaluza-Klein Spectrum of Gauge Fields in the Bigravity Model
We study behavior of bulk gauge field in the bigravity model in which two positive tension AdS4 branes in AdS5 bulk are included. We solve the equations of motions for Kaluza-Klein modes and determine the mass spectrum. It is shown that unlike the case of graviton, we find no ultralight Kaluza-Klein modes in the spectrum.

متن کاملRotating Kaluza-Klein Black Holes
All regular four-dimensional black holes are constructed in the theory obtained by Kaluza-Klein reduction of five-dimensional Einstein gravity. They are interpreted in string theory as rotating bound states of D0and D6-branes. In the extremal limit the solutions are stable, due to angular momentum conservation. The thermodynamics, the duality symmetries, and the near-horizon limit are explored.
