Abstract

Starting from the (q,p) 5-brane solution of type IIB string theory, we here construct the low energy configuration corresponding to (NS5,Dp)-brane bound states (for ) using the T-duality map between type IIB and type IIA string theories. We use the SL(2,Z) symmetry on the type IIB bound state (NS5,D3) to construct (NS5,D5,D3) bound state. We then apply T-duality transformation again on this state to construct the bound states of the form (NS5,D(p+2),Dp) (for ) of both type IIB and type IIA string theories. We give the tension formula for these states and show that they form non-threshold bound states. All these states preserve half of the space-time supersymmetries of string theories. We also briefly discuss the ODp-limits corresponding to (NS5,Dp) bound state solutions.
