James T. Liu, W.Y. Wen
TL;DR
This paper presents an exact asymptotically AdS multi-membrane solution in seven-dimensional supergravity, preserving a quarter of supersymmetry, and interprets it as open membranes ending on M5-branes in eleven dimensions.
Contribution
It provides a novel exact multi-membrane solution in AdS_7 that extends previous solutions and explores its supersymmetry and higher-dimensional interpretation.
Findings
Solution is asymptotically AdS and preserves 25% supersymmetry.
Interpreted as open membranes ending on M5-branes in eleven dimensions.
Enhances understanding of membrane configurations in supergravity and M-theory.
Abstract
We study the properties of an exact multi-membrane solution in seven-dimensional maximal SO(5)-gauged supergravity. Unlike previously known multi-centered solutions, the present one is asymptotically anti-de Sitter. We show that this multi-membrane configuration preserves only a quarter of the supersymmetries. When lifted to eleven dimensions, this solution is interpreted as a set of open membranes ending on self-dual strings on a stack of M5-branes, in the near M5 limit.
