Supersymmetry of M-Branes at Angles
Nobuyoshi Ohta, Paul K. Townsend
TL;DR
This paper classifies the fractions of supersymmetry preserved by intersecting M-5-branes, discovering new fractions 3/32 and 5/32, with the latter requiring specific angles, advancing understanding of M-brane configurations.
Contribution
It identifies new supersymmetry fractions in intersecting M-5-branes, including the first occurrence of 3/32 and 5/32, and explores angle-dependent supersymmetry preservation.
Findings
Discovered supersymmetry fractions 3/32 and 5/32 in M-5-brane intersections.
Showed 5/32 supersymmetry occurs only at specific fixed angles.
Analyzed non-orthogonal pointlike intersections of M-5-branes.
Abstract
We determine the possible fractions of supersymmetry preserved by two intersecting M-5-branes. These include the fractions 3/32 and 5/32 which have not occurred previously in intersecting brane configurations. Both occur in non-orthogonal pointlike intersections of M-5-branes but 5/32 supersymmetry is possible only for specific fixed angles.
