Title: Consistency condition for fivebrane in M Theory on R5/Z2Orbifold

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics B
OSTI ID:903107

We derive some consistency conditions for fivebrane in M theory on R5/Z2 orbifold from the quantization law for the antisymmetric tensor field. We construct consistent fivebrane configurations in R{sup 5}/Z{sub 2} type orbifold that exhibit the correct low energy dynamics of N=2 SQCD in four dimensions with symplectic and orthogonal gauge groups. This leads us to propose the M theory realization of orientifold four-planes of various types, and we study their properties by applying the consistency conditions.
