Non-geometric BPS branes on T-folds
Abstract
We give a detailed (microscopic) description of the geometric and non-geometric fundamental branes and their bound states in Type II superstring compactifications preserving N=6 supersymmetry. We consider general boundary states that couple to the twisted sector and compute the relevant annulus amplitudes. We check consistency of the construction by relating the transverse channel, corresponding to closed-string tree-level exchange, with the direct open-string loop channel. Focussing on the Type IIA frame, we show that D0-D4 have the expected tension for a geometric brane, while the non-geometric D2-D6 boundary states have a tension equal to the one of a geometric brane for the orbifold. This is consistent with Fricke T-duality of the N=6 model.
