On superembedding approach to type IIB 7-branes
arXiv:0812.2889 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2009/04/085
Abstract
In search for a dynamical description of Q7-branes, which were known as solutions of supergravity equations and then conjectured to be dynamical objects of type IIB string theory, we study the superembedding description of 7-branes in curved type IIB supergravity superspace. With quite minimal and natural assumptions we have found that there is no place for Q7-branes as dynamical branes in superembedding approach. Our study might give implications for the old-standing problem of the covariant and supersymmetric description of multiple Dp-brane systems.

V2: 44 pages, misprints corrected, minor cosmetic changes, improvements and extensions of discussion, in particular in the parts devoted to derivation of D7-brane equations of motion (Sec. 3) and in Secs. 4.2; appendices E,F added, footnote on page 30 extended, conclusions remain the same. V3. More misprints corrected
