Our World as an Intersection of Walls and a String

A solution of Einstein equations is obtained for our four-dimensional world as an intersection of a wall and a string-like defect in seven-dimensional spacetime with a negative cosmological constant. A matter energy-momentum tensor localized on the wall and on the string is needed. A single massless graviton is found and is localized around the intersection. The leading correction to the gravitational Newton potential from massive spin 2 graviton is found to be almost identical to that of a wall in five dimensions, contrary to the case of a string in six dimensions. The generalization to the intersection of a string and $n$ orthogonally intersecting walls is also obtained and a similar result is found for the gravitational potential.

M theory and the ``integrating in'' method with an antisymmetric tensor

Recently, a non-hyperelliptic curve describing the Coulomb branch of N=2 SUSY $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory with an antisymmetric tensor matter was proposed using a configuration of a single M theory five-brane. We study the singular surface in the moduli space of the curve to compare it with results from the ``integrating in'' method in field theory. In order to achieve the consistency, we find it necessary to take account of an additional superpotential $W_Δ$ which has been neglected so far. The explicit form of $W_Δ$ is worked out.
