The twelve dimensional super (2+2)-brane
S. F. Hewson, M. J. Perry
We discuss supersymmetry in twelve dimensions and present a covariant supersymmetric action for a brane with worldsheet signature (2,2), called a super (2+2)-brane, propagating in…
Interacting Chiral Gauge Fields in Six Dimensions and Born-Infeld Theory
Malcolm Perry, John H. Schwarz
Dimensional reduction of a self-dual tensor gauge field in 6d gives an Abelian vector gauge field in 5d. We derive the conditions under which an interacting 5d theory of an Abelian…
Kaluza-Klein electrically charged black branes in M-theory
Miguel S. Costa, Malcolm J. Perry
We present a class of Kaluza-Klein electrically charged black p-brane solutions of ten-dimensional, type IIA superstring theory. Uplifting to eleven dimensions these solutions are…
Exact non-abelian duality
S. F. Hewson, M. J. Perry
We investigate non-abelian gaugings of WZNW models. When the gauged group is semisimple we are able to present exact formulae for the dual conformal field theory, for all values of…
