abstract

It is shown that many of the $p$-branes of type II string theory and $d=11$ supergravity can have boundaries on other $p$-branes. The rules for when this can and cannot occur are derived from charge conservation. For example it is found that membranes in $d=11$ supergravity and IIA string theory can have boundaries on fivebranes. The boundary dynamics are governed by the self-dual $d=6$ string. A collection of $N$ parallel fivebranes contains $\half N(N-1)$ self-dual strings which become tensionless as the fivebranes approach one another.

5d Trinions and Tetraons

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · accept · novelty 7.0

The authors construct 5d SCFT trinions and tetraons with D flavor symmetry via M-theory, producing non-linear quivers with instanton symmetry enhancement and ruling out E-type cases.

A missing link: Brane networks and the Cobordism Conjecture

hep-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Defects tied to discrete symmetries via bordism groups Ω^ξ_2(BG) and homology H_2(BG;Z) are codimension-two branes that participate in networks with junctions, expanding the Cobordism Conjecture's predictions in string-derived supergravity.

From Quivers to Geometry: 5d Conformal Matter

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

All 5d balanced (ADE-shaped) SU quivers with no Chern-Simons level have UV completions as 5d conformal matter SCFTs realized by explicit local Calabi-Yau threefolds in M-theory.
