We show that the minimal D = 5, N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauged supergravity set-up may encode naturally the recently proposed clockwork mechanism. The minimal embedding requires one vector multiplet in addition to the supergravity multiplet and the ...

Unwinding strings in semi-flatland
We study the dynamics of strings with non-zero winding number around T-duality defects. We deduce that the physics near the core of such non-geometric objects involves winding modes that are not captured by the supergravity approximation, and we argue ...

T-duality transformations for the NS5-brane along angular directions
In this note we study T-duality transformations for the NS5-brane and its orbifolds along angular directions. We identify a geometric charge for these configurations and show that it is interchanged with the H-flux under T-duality. We furthermore perform

This paper deals with p-branes with small but non-zero tension. We prove the existence of canonical transformations, within a perturbation theory, that link specific geometries of p-branes to solvable theories, namely string-like and particle-like theories. The specific shapes correspond to stretched configurations.

Unstoppable brane-flux decay of D 6 ¯ $$ \overline{\mathrm{D}6} $$ branes
We investigate p D 6 ¯ $$ \overline{\mathrm{D}6} $$ branes inside a flux throat that carries K × M D6 charges with K the 3-form flux quantum and M the Romans mass.

We present a non-supersymmetric deformation of probe branes describing conformal defects of codimension two in AdS/CFT. The worldvolume of the probe branes is deformed from AdS p × S 1 embedded in an AdS p+2 × ℳ D − p − 2 background to an embedding of ...

Aspects of D-Branes as BPS monopoles [PDF]
We investigate some of the properties of D-brane configurations which behave as BPS monopoles. The two D-brane configurations we will study are the enhançon and D-strings attached to D3-branes.We will start by investigating D3-branes wrapped on a K3 ...

Intersections involving monopoles and waves in eleven dimensions [PDF]
We consider intersections in eleven dimensions involving Kaluza–Klein monopoles and Brinkmann waves. Besides these purely gravitational configurations, we also construct solutions to the equations of motion that involve additional M2- and M5-branes ...
