29 Feb 2000 | | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D62 (2000) 126010 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | Supergravity solutions related to large N SU(N) pure gauge theories with eight supercharges have recently been shown to give rise to an ``enhancon’’, a new type of hypersurface made of D-branes. We show that enhancons also arise in similar situations pertaining to SO(2N+1), USp(2N) and SO(2N) gauge theories, using orientifolds. Enhancons therefore appear to come in types A, B, C, and D. The latter three differ globally from type A by having an extra Z_2 identification, and are distinguished locally by their subleading behaviour in large N. We focus mainly on 2+1 dimensional gauge theory, where a relation to M-theory and the Atiyah-Hitchin and Taub-NUT manifolds enables the construction of the smooth supergravity solution and the study of some of the 1/N corrections. The role of the enhancon in eleven dimensional supergravity is also uncovered. There is a close relation to certain multi-monopole moduli space problems. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0002244 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
