abstract

We study the dynamics near a 1+1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory, using an open string description valid at weak coupling, and a closed string description valid at strong coupling. The weak coupling description suggests that this system is invariant under eight supercharges with a particular chirality in 1+1 dimensions, and its spectrum contains chiral fermions localized at the intersection. The closed string description leads to a rather different picture -- a three dimensional Poincare invariant theory with a gap and sixteen supercharges. We show that this dramatic change in the behavior of the system is partly due to anomaly inflow. Taking it into account leads to a coherent picture, both when the fivebranes in each stack are coincident and when they are separated.

(Iso)spin from Isospin in Top-Down Holography

hep-th · 2025-12-01 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

In top-down holographic models, monopole-induced diagonal symmetry causes dilaton fluctuations to mix SU(2) gauge and SO(3) isometry angular momenta, reproducing the Jackiw-Rebbi-Hasenfratz-'t Hooft spin-from-isospin mechanism.

Penrose limits and TsT for fibered $I$-branes

hep-th · 2025-10-28 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Analyzes TsT deformations and Penrose limits on fibered I-branes from prior work, finding preserved solvability when TsT precedes the limit and new asymptotically free or parallelizable sectors in the reverse order.
