abstract

We study the correspondence between IIb solitonic 1-branes and monopoles in the context of the 3-brane realization of $D=4$ $N=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. We show that a bound state of 1-branes stretching between two separated 3-branes exhibits a family of super-symmetric ground states that can be identified with the ADHMN construction of the moduli space of $SU(2)$ monopoles.. This identification is supported by the construction of the monopole gauge field as a space-time coupling in the quantum mechanical effective action of a 1-brane used as a probe. The analysis also reveals an intriguing aspect of the 1-brane theory:the transverse oscillations of the 1-branes in the ground states are described by non-commuting matrix valued fields which develop poles at the boundary. Finally, the construction is generalized to $SU(n)$ monopoles with arbitrary $n>2$.

Non-relativistic limits of $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and S-duality

hep-th · 2026-06-19 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Constructs a family of non-relativistic limits of 4d MSYM via brane setups that organize into a 3D moduli space with nontrivial topology where PSL(2,Z) dualities act more complexly than in the relativistic theory, establishing Abelian duality by path integral and supporting non-Abelian case via spec

A class of half-BPS boundary conditions for $A_{K-1}$ circular quivers

hep-th · 2026-06-02 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Characterizes solutions to BPS equations for D4-branes ending on boundary D6-branes in A_{K-1} circular quivers, finding a winding phenomenon absent in linear quivers and proposing the maximal-winding case as S-dual to Neumann boundary conditions.
