ABSTRACT

In this paper we obtain a family of analytic solutions to the nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the dynamics of the bosonic part of the mass operator of a M2-brane compactified on $M_9 imes T^2$ in the LCG with worldvolume fluxes. Those fluxes can be induced by a constant and quantized supergravity 3-form. This sector of the theory, at supersymmetric level, has the interesting property of having a discrete spectrum. We have focused on the characterization of Q-ball-like (QBL) solitons on the M2-brane with worldvolume fluxes. Two scenarios are analysed: one in which the system is isotropic and the other anisotropic. In the isotropic case, we obtain analytic families of string-like solutions to the membrane equations of motion in the presence of a non-vanishing symplectic gauge field that satisfy all constraints. We explicitly show a localised family of QBL solutions. It is demonstrated that although the solutions generally exhibit dispersion, they also allow for dispersion-free solutions. In the non-isotropic case, we obtain full-fledged membrane QBL solutions by numerical methods. We characterize some other properties of the solutions found. The dynamics of the QBL solutions are also encountered. We analyze the Lorentz boosts and Galilean transformations. Since we work in the Light Cone Gauge, the Lorentz transformed solutions are not automatically solutions, rather some extra conditions must be imposed. Only a subset of the solutions remain. We discuss some examples. The QBL solitons of the M2-brane that have been discovered contain an interaction term between the Noether charge of the Q-ball and the topological monopole charge associated with the worldvolume flux. The monopole charge increases the stability of the analytic solutions against fission...

Figure 1: In these graphics we represent the dispersion relation, phase speed and group speed for a choice of parameters $R_{9}=1$ , $R_{10}=2$ , $m_{1}=n_{1}=n_{2}=1$ , $m_{2}=2$ . In the top pictures we represent them in 2D and in the bottom the same quantities in 3D, since both complement visuall

研究问题

• RQ1 能否在光锥规范下，于具有世界体积规范场的M2-膜上构造出解析的Q-球样孤立子？
• RQ2 规范场诱导的拓扑项与辛规范场如何影响Q-球解的色散性和稳定性？
• RQ3 由世界体积通量产生的Q-球Noether荷与拓扑单极子荷之间的相互作用本质为何？
• RQ4 Q-球解是否在各向异性的几何中依然存在？在这些条件下能否进行数值近似？
• RQ5 洛伦兹与伽利略变换如何约束该框架下有效Q-球解的集合？

主要发现

• 在各向同性情形下，推导出两类解析的Q-球样解，分别对应于非零与零辛规范场的情形，所有约束（包括规范场诱导的中心荷条件）均被满足。
• 解表现出普遍的色散性，但在特定频率与通量条件下存在无色散解，表明存在一类受限的稳定构型。
• 仅当频率取离散且受限的集合时，解才允许线性叠加，暗示激发模式的量子化。
• 数值解证实了在非各向同性情形下Q-球构型的存在性，即使在简单的背景通量下，通过有限差分与打靶法实现，近似误差极低。
• M2-膜质量算符中引入了Q-球Noether荷与规范场诱导的拓扑单极子荷之间的新型相互作用项，修正了标准的 $E \sim \omega Q$ 关系。
• 洛伦兹与伽利略变换不能自动保持解的不变性；仅解的子集满足变换后的方程，且伽利略提升进一步限制了允许的解，仅保留保持Q-球形状的解（仅呼吸模式）。
