Exotic E11 branes as composite gravitational solutions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-19 v3

Abstract

A two-parameter group element is presented that interpolates between M-brane solutions. The group element is used to interpret a number of exotic branes related to the generators of the adjoint representation of E11 as non-marginal half-BPS bound states of M-branes. It is conjectured that the adjoint representation of E11 contains only generators related to bound states of fundamental M-branes which, in the limit, may be understood as membrane molecules.
