On Domain-wall/QFT dualities in various dimensions
Eric Bergshoeff, Rein Halbersma
We investigate domain-wall/quantum field theory correspondences in various dimensions. We give particular emphasis to the special case of the quantum mechanics of 0--branes.
Spacetime-Filling Branes and Strings with Sixteen Supercharges
E. Bergshoeff, E. Eyras, R. Halbersma +3
We discuss branes whose worldvolume dimension equals the target spacetime dimension, i.e. ``spacetime-filling branes''. In addition to the D9-branes, there are 9-branes in the NS-N…
p-Brane and D-Brane Actions
E. Bergshoeff
We consider the actions for ten--dimensional --branes and --branes in an arbitrary curved background and discuss some of their properties. We comment on how the dua…
The IIA super-eightbrane
E. Bergshoeff, M. B. Green, G. Papadopoulos +1
We present a version of ten-dimensional IIA supergravity containing a 9-form potential for which the field equations are equivalent to those of the standard, massless, IIA theory f…
