Dualities in deformed N=2 SCFTs from link monodromy on D3-brane states.
This research builds foundations for D3-branes in string theory.
This is the written version of my talk at SUSY '98. It presents a geometric characterisation of the allowed near-horizon geometries of supersymmetric branes. We focus primarily on the M2-brane, but results for other branes (e.g., the D3-brane) are also presented. Some new examples are discussed.
D3-brane solutions derived from Ricci-flat metrics on Kähler-Einstein surfaces.
Study electric-magnetic duality in M-theory compactifications.
We develop an approach to Khovanov homology of knots via gauge theory (previous physics-based approches involved other descriptions of the relevant spaces of BPS states). The starting point is a system of D3-branes ending on an NS5-brane with a nonzero theta-angle. On the one hand, this system can be related to a Chern…
Departing from the observation that the Penrose limit of AdS_3 x S^3 is a group contraction in the sense of Inonu and Wigner, we explore the relation between the symmetric D-branes of AdS_3 x S^3 and those of its Penrose limit, a six-dimensional symmetric plane wave analogous to the four-dimensional Nappi--Witten space…
Study D3-brane solutions on resolved C^3/Γ singularities, proving metric conjecture.
Stability of chiral rings in N=1 theories linked to K-stability of X.
Constructs brane current algebras from QP-manifolds, generalizing string currents.
Reinterprets M-theory geometry and identifies Wess-Zumino terms.
We derive and study supergravity BPS flow equations for M5 or D3 branes wrapping a Riemann surface. They take the form of novel geometric flows intrinsically defined on the surface. Their dual field-theoretic interpretation suggests the existence of solutions interpolating between an arbitrary metric in the UV and the …
Extending previous work that involved D3-branes ending on a fivebrane with , we consider a similar two-sided problem. This construction, in case the fivebrane is of NS type, is associated to the three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory of a supergroup U or OSp rather than an ordinary …
WZW models are abstract conformal field theories with an infinite dimensional symmetry which accounts for their integrability, and at the same time they have a sigma model description of closed string propagation on group manifolds which, in turn, endows the models with an intuitive geometric meaning. We exploit this d…
In three dimensions, a `master theory' for all Thurston geometries requires imaginary flux. However, these geometries can be obtained from physical three-dimensional theories with various additional scalar fields, which can be interpreted as moduli in various compactifications of a higher-dimensional `master theory'. T…
The first aim of this paper is to define the dual timelike Mannheim partner curves in Dual Lorentzian Space D3 1, the second aim of this paper is to obtain the relationships between the curvatures and the torsions of the dual timelike Mannheim partner curves with respect to each other and the final aim of this paper is…
In this study, we investigate Bertrand curves in three dimensional dual space D3 and we obtain the characterizations of these curves in dual space D3. Also we show that involutes of a curve constitute Bertrand pair curves.
We use the formalism of generalized geometry to study the generic supersymmetric AdS_5 solutions of type IIB supergravity that are dual to N=1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in d=4. Such solutions have an associated six-dimensional generalized complex cone geometry that is an extension of Calabi-Yau cone geometr…
New formulas for knot rotation numbers and contact structures.
Formula for computing rotation and self-linking numbers in contact surgery diagrams.
A new algorithm for competing agents in a two-sided market setting.
Researchers create holographic super-embeddings for M5 and M2 branes.
Establishes higher T-duality for super M-branes.
Introduces D-branes in para-Hermitian geometries using T-duality.
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 s…
We describe mirror symmetry on higher dimensional tori, paying special attention to the behaviour of D-branes under mirror symmetry. To find the mirror D-branes the description of mirror symmetry on D-branes due to Ooguri, Oz en Yin is used. This method allows us to deal with the coisotropic D-branes recently introduce…
We classify and construct all the smooth Kaluza-Klein reductions to ten dimensions of the M2- and M5-brane configurations which preserve some of the supersymmetry. In this way we obtain a wealth of new supersymmetric IIA backgrounds describing composite configurations of D-branes, NS-branes and flux/nullbranes; bound s…
Differential Cohomotopy theory predicts brane interactions via chord diagrams.
We analyze global anomalies for elementary Type II strings in the presence of D-branes. Global anomaly cancellation gives a restriction on the D-brane topology. This restriction makes possible the interpretation of D-brane charge as an element of K-theory.
New K-theory framework reveals exotic brane charges and conformal blocks.
It has been shown recently that the geometry of D-branes in general topologically twisted (2,2) sigma-models can be described in the language of generalized complex structures. On general grounds such D-branes (called generalized complex (GC) branes) must form a category. We compute the BRST cohomology of open strings …
Geometric quantization on hyperKähler manifolds via brane quantization.
We consider branes $N=I\times\so$, where $\so$ is an \ndash dimensional space form, not necessarily compact, in a Schwarzschild-AdS_{(n+2)} bulk $\mc N$. The branes have a big crunch singularity. If a brane is an ARW space, then, under certain conditions, there exists a smooth natural transition flow through the sin…
Mathematical framework for brane quantization using SYZ mirror symmetry.
Quantization and reduction for coisotropic A-branes on Hamiltonian manifolds.
In this lecture I review how a matrix/Azumaya-type noncommutative geometry arises for D-branes in string theory and how such a geometry serves as an origin of the master nature of D-branes; and then highlight an abundance conjecture on D0-brane resolutions of singularities that is extracted and purified from a work of …
This is the next step of uncovering the relation between string theory and exotic smooth R^4. Exotic smoothness of R^4 is correlated with D6 brane charges in IIA string theory. We construct wild embeddings of spheres and relate them to a class of topological quantum Dp-branes as well to KK theory. These branes emerge w…
We complete the classification of supersymmetric configurations of two M5-branes, started by Ohta and Townsend. The novel configurations not considered before are those in which the two branes are moving relative to one another. These configurations are obtained by starting with two coincident branes and Lorentz-transf…
Cohomotopy charge quantization implies String structure on M5-branes.
We expand Topological Field Theory on some special CW-complexes (brane complexes). This Brane Topological Field Theory one-to-one corresponds to infinite dimensional Frobenius Algebras, graduated by CW-complexes of lesser dimension. We define general and regular Hurwitz numbers of brane complexes and prove that they ge…
Develops a new perspective on D-branes using loop spaces.
We study supersymmetric probe M5-branes in the AdS_4 solution that arises from M5-branes wrapped on a hyperbolic 3-manifold M_3. This amounts to introducing internal defects within the framework of the 3d-3d correspondence. The BPS condition for a probe M5-brane extending along all of AdS_4 requires it to wrap a surfac…
This dissertation explores T-duality between hyperkähler structures and branes on algebraic integrable systems.
Study on smooth moduli spaces of branes in symplectic 4-manifolds.
In a recent paper, Ohta and Townsend studied the conditions which must be satisfied for a configuration of two intersecting M5-branes at angles to be supersymmetric. In this paper we extend this result to any number of M5-branes or any number of M2-branes. This is accomplished by interpreting their results in terms of …
The paper proposes a noncommutative deformation of toric varieties.
New approach identifies hidden degrees of freedom in M-theory.
