%0 Journal Article %T Geometrical Analysis of Brane Creation via M-Theory %A Yuhsuke Yoshida %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %R 10.1143/PTP.99.305 %X A geometrical analysis is given of Dirichlet fourbrane creation, when sixbrane crosses fivebrane in M-theory. A special property of the Taub-NUT space leads to the consequence. When brane configurations are considered for four dimensional N=2 field theories, sixbrane contributes to the beta-function through the Dirac string of the Taub-NUT space. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9711177v1
