Description of M 2 - branes Ending on an M 5 - brane and Holography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider world-volume description of M2-branes ending on an M5-brane. The system can be described either as a solitonic solution of the M5-brane field equations or in terms of an effective string propagating in 6-dimensions. We show that the zeroth order scalar scattering amplitudes behave similarly in both pictures. The soliton solution appears to have a horizon-like throat region. Due to the underlying geometric structure of the M5-brane theory, modes propagating near the horizon are subject to a large red-shift. This allows one to define a decoupling limit and implies a holographic duality between two theories which do not contain dynamical gravity.

متن کاملHolography and D 3 - branes in Melvin Universes
Recently,in a paper hep-th/0511197, it was found that non-commutative super Yang-Mills (NCSYM) theory with space-dependent noncommutativity can be formulated as a decoupling limit of open strings ending on D3-branes wrapping a Melvin universe supported by a flux of the NSNS B-field. Under S-duality, we show that this theory turns into a noncommutative open string (NCOS) theory with space-depend...
متن کاملSuper Lie n-algebra extensions, higher WZW models and super p-branes with tensor multiplet fields
We formalize higher dimensional and higher gauge WZW-type sigma-model local prequantum field theory, and discuss its rationalized/perturbative description in (super-)Lie n-algebra homotopy theory (the true home of the “FDA”-language used in the supergravity literature). We show generally how the intersection laws for such higher WZW-type σ-model branes (open brane ending on background brane) ar...
متن کاملEntropy of N = 2 black holes and their M - brane description
In this paper we discuss the M -brane description for a N = 2 black hole. This solution is a result of the compactification of M -5-brane configurations over a CalabiYau threefold with arbitrary intersection numbers CABC . In analogy to the D-brane description where one counts open string states we count here open 2-branes which end on the M -5-brane. e-mail: [email protected] e-...
متن کاملVortex Loop Operators, M2-branes and Holography
We construct vortex loop operators in the three-dimensional N = 6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena. These disorder loop operators are specified by a vortex-like singularity for the scalar and gauge fields along a one dimensional curve in spacetime. We identify the 1/2, 1/3 and 1/6 BPS loop operators in the Chern-Simons theory wi...
