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…
On M-9-branes
Eric Bergshoeff, Jan Pieter van der Schaar
We discuss some properties of the conjectured M-9-brane. We investigate both the worldvolume action as well as the target space solution. The worldvolume action is given by a gauge…
The M5-brane Hamiltonian
E. Bergshoeff, D. Sorokin, P. K. Townsend
We obtain the Hamiltonian form of the worldvolume action for the M5-brane in a general D=11 supergravity background. We use this result to obtain a new version of the covariant M5-…
Super D-branes revisited
E. Bergshoeff, P. K. Townsend
A version of the kappa-symmetric super D-p-brane action is presented in which the tension is a dynamical variable, equal to the flux of a p-form worldvolume gauge field. The Lagran…
The Massive Kaluza-Klein Monopole
Eric Bergshoeff, Eduardo Eyras, Yolanda Lozano
We construct the (bosonic) effective worldvolume action of an M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopole in a background given by the bosonic sector of eleven-dimensional massive supergravity,…
Domain Walls on the Brane
Eric Bergshoeff, George Papadopoulos, Jan Pieter van der Schaar
We show that all branes admit worldvolume domain wall solutions. We find one class of solutions for which the tension of the brane changes discontinuously along the domain wall. Th…
