We study a five-dimensional field theory which contains a monopole (string) solution with chiral fermion zero modes. This monostring solution is a close analog of the fivebrane solution of M-theory. The cancellation of normal bundle anomalies parallels that for the M-theory fivebrane, in particular, the presence of a Chern-Simons term in the low-energy effective U(1) gauge theory plays a central role. We comment on the relationship between the the microscopic analysis of the world-volume theory and the low-energy analysis and draw some cautionary lessons for M-theory.

  1. Asymptotics of 5d Supergravity Theories and the Emergent String Conjecture

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    All infinite distance limits in 5d N=1 supergravity vector moduli space are either unique-vector limits (6d decompactification) or unique-tensor limits (emergent string), under a weak BPS completeness assumption.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under the Emergent String Conjecture, the logarithm of any principal tower mass has a moduli-space Laplacian eigenvalue quantized to N/(D-d) for KK towers and N/2 for string oscillators, equal to the instanton-weighte...

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto holographic model, the authors describe axionic cosmic string loops and domain walls as D6-brane embeddings, find a first-order transition between them, and show that large-baryon-charg...
