Solitons on the Supermembrane
arXiv:hep-th/9904020 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/1999/05/021
Abstract
Energy bounds are derived for planar and compactified M2-branes in a hyper-Kähler background. These bounds are saturated, respectively, by lump and Q-kink solitons, which are shown to preserve a half of the worldvolume supersymmetry. The Q-kinks have a dual IIB interpretation as strings that migrate between fivebranes.
