M-theory curves from warped AdS$_6$ in Type IIB

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-12-26 v1

Abstract

We establish a close relation between recently constructed AdS6_6 solutions in Type IIB supergravity, which describe the near-horizon limit of (p,q)(p,q) 5-brane junctions, and the curves wrapped by M5-branes in the M-theory realization of the 5-brane junctions. This provides a geometric interpretation of various objects appearing in the construction of the Type IIB solutions and a physical interpretation of the regularity conditions. Conversely, the Type IIB solutions provide explicit solutions to the equations defining the M-theory curves associated with (p,q)(p,q) 5-brane junctions.
