Calibrations and Fayyazuddin-Smith Spacetimes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We show that a class of spacetimes introduced by Fayyazuddin and Smith to describe intersecting M5-branes admit a generalized Kahler calibration. Equipped with this understanding, we are able to construct spacetimes corresponding to further classes of calibrated pp-brane world-volume solitons. We note that these classes of spacetimes also describe the fields of pp-branes wrapping certain supersymmetric cycles of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
