Review text

Summary: We construct dyon solutions on coincident \(D 4\)-branes, obtained by applying \(T\)-duality transformations to type I \(S O(32)\) superstring theory in 10 dimensions. These solutions, which are exact, are obtained from an action comprising the non-abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld action and a Wess-Zumino-like action. When one spatial dimension of the \(D 4\)-branes is taken to be vanishingly small, the dyons are analogous to the 't Hooft/Polyakov monopole residing in a \(3 + 1\)-dimensional spacetime, where the component of the Yang-Mills potential transforming as a Lorentz scalar is reinterpreted as a Higgs boson transforming in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. Applying a \(T\)-duality transformation to the vanishingly small spatial dimension, we obtain a collection of \(D 3\)-branes, not all of which are coincident. Two of the \(D 3\)-branes, distinct from the others, acquire intrinsic, finite curvature and are connected by a wormhole. The dyons possess electric and magnetic charges whose values on each \(D 3\)-brane are the negative of one another. The gravitational effects, which arise after the \(T\)-duality transformation, occur despite the fact that the action of the system does not explicitly include the gravitational interaction. These solutions provide a simple example of the subtle relationship between the Yang-Mills and gravitational interactions, that is, gauge/gravity duality.
