Defect (p,q) Five-branes

Abstract

We study a local description of composite five-branes of codimension two. The formulation is constructed by virtue of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\times SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ monodromy associated with two-torus. Applying conjugate monodromy transformations to the complex structures of the two-torus, we obtain a field configuration of a defect $(p,q)$ five-brane. This is a composite state of $p$ defect NS5-branes and $q$ exotic $5_2^2$-branes. We also obtain a new example of hyper-Kähler geometry. This is an ALG space, a generalization of an ALF space which asymptotically has a tri-holomorphic two-torus action. This geometry appears in the conjugate configuration of a single defect KK5-brane.
