PhreMology--calibrating M-branes
P. K. Townsend
The relevance of calibrations, and `generalized' calibrations, to supersymmetric M-brane configurations, and their associated field theories, is reviewed, with emphasis on applicat…

A Bogomol`nyi equation for intersecting domain walls
G W Gibbons, P K Townsend
We argue that the Wess-Zumino model with quartic superpotential admits static solutions in which three domain walls intersect at a junction. We derive an energy bound for such junc…

Solitons on the Supermembrane
E. Bergshoeff, P. K. Townsend
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…
