“…This argument can be restated in terms of worldvolume domain walls. These can occur as solutions to the brane equations of motion only if discontinuities are allowed in the tension [23], which is possible only if the tension is replaced by a p-form gauge potential. Consider now the NS5A and NS5B branes.…”

We obtain the Hamiltonian form of the worldvolume action for the M5-brane in a general D=11 supergravity background. We use this result to obtain a new version of the covariant M5-brane Lagrangian in which the tension appears as a dynamical variable, although this Lagrangian has some unsatisfactory features which we trace to peculiarities of the null limit. We also show that the M5-brane action is invariant under all (super)isometries of the background.Comment: Latex 18 p

“…c (5) describes the tension of the NS-5-brane, and it couples to the domain wall in the six dimensional worldvolume given by the intersection: (4|D5, NS5) [28]. This soliton is T -dual to the 4-brane soliton (4|D4, KK) of the IIA KK-monopole.…”

We construct the explicit worldvolume effective actions of the type IIB NS-5-brane and KK-monopole. These objects are obtained through a T -duality transformation from the IIA KK-monopole and the IIA NS-5-brane respectively. We show that the worldvolume field content of these actions is precisely that necessary to describe their worldvolume solitons. The IIB NS-5-brane effective action is shown to be related to the D-5-brane's by an S-duality transformation, suggesting the way to construct (p, q) 5-brane multiplets. The IIB KKmonopole is described by a gauged sigma model, in agreement with the general picture for KK-monopoles, and behaves as a singlet under S-duality. We derive the explicit T -duality rules NS-5-brane ↔ KK, which we use for the construction of the previous actions, as well as NS-5 ↔ NS-5, and KK ↔ KK.

“…Thus we recognize Z el as the central charge Y i appearing in the worldvolume supersymmetry algebra (in our expression (2.12) the direction M = 9 has been chosen out of four equivalent ones). The other charges occurring in the algebra are also interpreted as intersections of branes along the lines of [7,14].…”

The BPS method is used to find BPS solutions of the worldvolume theory of a D5brane in the near horizon geometry of a D3-brane. The BPS bound is interpreted in terms of the 'maximally extended' D5 worldvolume supersymmetry algebra in the corresponding curved background, which is OSp(1|16). This algebra is an extension of the worldvolume superalgebra OSp(4 * |4). The analysis is generalized to the non-near horizon case.
