Exotic smooth R^4 and certain configurations of NS and D branes in string theory
Abstract
In this paper we show that in some important cases 4-dimensional data can be extracted from superstring theory such that a) the data are 4 Euclidean geometries embedded in standard , b) these data depend on NS and D brane charges of some string backgrounds, c) it is of potential relevance to 4-dimensional physics, d) the compactification and stabilization techniques are not in use, but rather are replaced. We analyze certain configurations of NS and D-branes in the context of WZW model and find the correlations with different exotic smoothings of . First, the dynamics of D-branes in WZW model at finite , i.e. the charges of the branes, refers to the exoticness of ambient . Next, the correspondence between exotic smoothness on 4-space, transversal to the world volume of NS5 branes in IIA type, and the number of these NS5 branes follows. Finally, the translation of 10 dimensional string backgrounds to 4 Euclidean spaces embedded as open subsets in the standard is achieved.
