D-Branes, Holonomy and M-Theory
Jaume Gomis
Abstract
We show that M-theory on spaces with irreducible holonomy represent Type IIA backgrounds in which a collection of D6-branes wrap a supersymmetric cycle in a manifold with a holonomy group different from the one appearing in the M-theory description. For example, we show that D6-branes wrapping a supersymmetric four-cycle on a manifold with G2 holonomy is described in eleven dimensions by M-theory on a space with Spin(7) holonomy. Examples of such Type IIA backgrounds which lift to M-theory on spaces with SU(3), G2, SU(4) and Spin(7) holonomy are considered. The M-theory geometry can then be used to compute exact quantities of the gauge theory on the corresponding D-brane configuration.
