Generalized BIons in M-theory
arXiv:0911.4620 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2009.07.053
Abstract
In string theory, stacks of D1-branes can expand into intersecting D3-branes. These configurations are called (generalized) BIons. We show how the analogous constructions in M-theory, where M2-branes blow up into calibrated intersections of M5-branes, arise from some of the membrane theories.
