Embedding Branes in Flat Two-time Spaces

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show how non-near horizon, non-dilatonic pp-brane theories can be obtained from two embedding constraints in a flat higher dimensional space with 2 time directions. In particular this includes the construction of D3 branes from a flat 12-dimensional action, and M2 and M5 branes from 13 dimensions. The worldvolume actions are found in terms of fields defined in the embedding space, with the constraints enforced by Lagrange multipliers.
