O. Baerwald, N. D. Lambert, P. C. West
TL;DR
This paper develops a covariant energy bound for M-fivebranes, extending the concept of calibrated geometries to include non-zero worldvolume gauge fields, with implications for Dp-branes.
Contribution
It introduces a new covariant bound on M-fivebrane energy-momentum that encompasses non-zero gauge fields, generalizing calibrated geometries for M-fivebranes and Dp-branes.
Findings
Bound is saturated by all supersymmetric configurations
Generalized calibrated geometry for M-fivebranes with gauge fields
Extension of calibration concepts to Dp-branes
Abstract
We construct a covariant bound on the energy-momentum of the M-fivebrane which is saturated by all supersymmetric configurations. This leads to a generalised notion of a calibrated geometry for M-fivebranes when the worldvolume gauge field is non-zero. The generalisation relevant for Dp-branes is also given.
