Fuzzy Cosets and their Gravity Duals
Abstract
Dp-branes placed in a certain external RR (p+4)-form field expand into a transverse fuzzy two-sphere, as shown by Myers. We find that by changing the (p+4)-form background other fuzzy cosets can be obtained. Three new examples, S2 X S2, CP2 and SU(3)/(U(1) X U(1)) are constructed. The first two are four-dimensional while the last is six-dimensional. The dipole and quadrupole moments which result in these configurations are discussed. Finally, the gravity backgrounds dual to these vacua are examined in a leading order approximation. These are multi-centered solutions containing (p+4)- or (p+6)-dimensional brane singularities.
