Quantization of p-branes, D-p-branes and M-branes [PDF]
Killing spinors of space-time BPS configurations play an important role in quantization of theories with the fermionic worldvolume local symmetry. We show here how it works for the GS superstring, BST supermembrane and M-5-brane. We show that the non-linear generalization of the (2,0) d=6 tensor supermultiplet action is the M-5-brane action in a ...

Ten-dimensional lifts of global supersymmetry on curved spaces
Admissible curved space backgrounds for four-dimensional supersymmetric field theories are determined by solving Killing spinor equations of four-dimensional off-shell supergravities.

Note about covariant Hamiltonian formalism for strings, p-branes and unstable Dp-branes
In this short note we formulate Covariant Hamiltonian formalism for strings, p-branes and Non-BPS Dp-branes. We also analyse the vacuum tachyon condensation in case of unstable D1-brane.

Fractional black p-branes on orbifold ℂ n /ℤ n
The recent discovery of an explicit solution of a black hole on the resolved orbifold ℂ n /ℤ n makes it possible to investigate the existence of p-branes on the orbifold.

We investigate possible existence of duality symmetries which exchange the Kaluza–Klein modes with the wrapping modes of a BPS saturated p-brane on a torus. Assuming the validity of the conjectured U-duality symmetries of type-II and heterotic string theories and M-theory, we show that for a BPS saturated p-brane there is an SL (2, Z) symmetry that ...

The different faces of branes in double field theory
We show how the Wess-Zumino terms of the different branes in string theory can be embedded within double field theory. Crucial ingredients in our construction are the identification of the correct brane charge tensors and the use of the double field ...

Wrapped NS5-branes, consistent truncations and Inönü-Wigner contractions
We construct consistent Kaluza-Klein truncations of type IIA supergravity on (i) Σ2 × S 3 and (ii) Σ3 × S 3, where Σ2 = S 2 /Γ, ℝ2 /Γ, or ℍ2 /Γ, and Σ3 = S 3 /Γ, ℝ3 /Γ, or ℍ3 /Γ, with Γ a discrete group of symmetries, corresponding to NS5-branes wrapped ...

Five-brane actions in double field theory
We construct an action for NSNS 5-branes which is manifestly covariant under O(d, d). This is done by doubling d of the spacetime coordinates which appear in the worldvolume action.

(p,q)-strings probing five-brane webs
In recent work, globally well-defined Type IIB supergravity solutions with geometry AdS 6 × S 2 warped over a Riemann surface Σ were constructed and conjectured to describe the near-horizon geometry of (p, q) five-brane webs in the conformal limit.
