The special case of Dp-D(p+2)-brane bound state for D6-D8-brane bound states.

Properties

See this section at Hanany-Witten effect.

Fuzzy funnel geometry

The fuzzy funnel/fuzzy 2-sphere noncommutative geometry of D6BOTd8D6\BOT d8-brane intersections, from the point of the of the D6-brane non-abelian DBI-action (Gaiotto-Tomasiello 14, Fazzi 17, p. 41-46):

The s-rule

By the s-rule a supersymmetric configurations of D6-branes stretching between NS5-branes and D8-branes has at most one D6-brane ending on any D8-brane:

As QCD Monopoles in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model

Generally Dp-D(p+2)-brane intersections geometrically engineer Yang-Mills monopoles in the worldvolume of the higher dimensional D(p+2)(p+2)-branes.

Specifically for p=6p = 6, i.e. for D6-D8-brane intersections, this fits with the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model geometrically engineering quantum chromodynamics, and then gives a geometric engineering of the Yang-Mills monopoles in actual QCD (HLPY 08, p. 16).

Here we are showing

  1. the color D4-branes;

  2. the flavor D8-branes;

    with

    1. the 5d Chern-Simons theory on their worldvolume

    2. the corresponding 4d WZW model on the boundary

    both exhibiting the meson fields

  3. the baryon D4-branes

    (see below at WSS – Baryons)

  4. the Yang-Mills monopole D6-branes

    (see at D6-D8-brane bound state)

  5. the NS5-branes.
