Supergravity flows and D-brane stability

Abstract: We investigate the correspondence between existence/stability of BPS states in type II string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold and BPS solutions of four dimensional N=2 supergravity. Some paradoxes emerge, and we propose a resolution by considering composite configurations. This in turn gives a smooth effective field theory description of decay at marginal stability. We also discuss the connection with 3-pronged strings, the Joyce transition of special Lagrangian submanifolds, and Π-stability.

“…Of course, the spectrum of energies is discrete but this is only evident at subleading orders in 1/N when one accounts for the back reaction of the giant graviton-branes. The question of whether these BPS states with given quantum numbers exist or not has been linked to a walls of stability type description [64] in [45]. It would be interesting to see if these issues can be understood using the methods of this article.…”

“…The radial dependence of single-center static supersymmetric black hole solutions [1,2,3,4] in four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity theories at the two-derivative level can be determined by solving a set of first-order differential (flow) equations [5,6,7]. Such solutions are given in terms of harmonic functions [1,3,8,9,10,11].…”

“…Since the D3-branes wrapped on Σ 3 are BPS objects, it is expected that upon dimensional reduction from the ten-dimensional type IIB supergravity, they manifest theirselves as BPS objects in four-dimensions. Concretely, time-independent BPS configurations in fourdimensions are described by the metric [14] …”
