TL;DR
This paper investigates M-theory configurations involving fivebranes in Taub-NUT space, revealing how D-branes emerge from fivebrane and sixbrane crossings in the IIA limit, thus providing insights into brane creation mechanisms.
Contribution
It demonstrates how brane creation occurs via crossing of fivebranes and sixbranes in M-theory, connecting geometric configurations to D-brane emergence in Type IIA string theory.
Findings
Identification of two IIA configurations from M-theory fivebrane setups.
Demonstration that D4-branes can be suspended by fivebranes and sixbranes.
Interpretation of D4-brane creation as crossing of fivebrane and sixbrane.
Abstract
We study configurations of a single fivebrane in the geometry where is the Taub-NUT space. Taking the IIA limit at each value of their modulus, two possibilities of the IIA configuration are revealed. One consists of a NS fivebrane and a D sixbrane while the other consists of a NS fivebrane, a D sixbrane and a D fourbrane. In the latter case the fourbrane is shown to be suspended by the fivebrane and the sixbrane. This appearance of fourbrane can be interpreted in Type IIA picture as the result of the crossing of the fivebrane and the sixbrane
