Born-Infeld particles and Dirichlet p-branes

Abstract

Born-Infeld theory admits finite energy point particle solutions with $\delta$-function sources, BIons. I discuss their role in the theory of Dirichlet $p$-branes as the ends of strings intersecting the brane when the effects of gravity are ignored. There are also topologically non-trivial electrically neutral catenoidal solutions looking like two $p$-branes joined by a throat. The general solution is a non-singular deformation of the catenoid if the charge is not too large and a singular deformation of the BIon solution for charges above that limit. The intermediate solution is BPS and Coulomb-like. Performing a duality rotation we obtain monopole solutions, the BPS limit being a solution of the abelian Bogolmol'nyi equations. The situation closely resembles that of sub and super extreme black-brane solutions of the supergravity theories. I also show that certain special Lagrangian submanifolds of ${\mathbb{C}}^p$, $p=3,4,5$, may be regarded as supersymmetric configurations consisting of $p$-branes at angles joined by throats which are the sources of global monopoles. Vortex solutions are also exhibited.
