Abstract
We
study the effect of non-Abelian T-duality (NATD) on D-brane solutions of type II supergravity.
Knowledge of the full brane solution allows us to track the brane charges and the corresponding brane
configurations, thus providing justification for brane setups previously proposed in the literature and for the
common lore that Dp brane solutions give rise to D(p+1)-D(p+3)-NS5 backgrounds under SU(2) NATD
transverse to the brane. In brane solutions where spacetime is empty and flat at spatial infinity before NATD,
the spatial infinity of the NATD is universal, i.e. independent of the initial brane configuration. Furthermore,
it gives enough information to determine the ranges of all coordinates after NATD. In the more complicated
examples of the D2 branes considered here, where spacetime is not asymptotically flat before NATD, the
interpretation of the dual solutions remains unclear. In the case of supersymmetric D2 branes arising from
M2 reductions to IIA on Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifolds, we explicitly verify that the solution obeys the
appropriate generalized spinor equations for a supersymmetric domain wall in four dimensions. We also
investigate the existence of supersymmetric mass-deformed D2 brane solutions.

1. Introduction
Non-Abelian T-duality (NATD) has recently attracted renewed interest, not least as a tool for
generating new supergravity solutions. A partial list of related literature includes [1–13]. One
problem in this context is that NATD only carries local information: even when the starting
point (the “seed”) is a globally well-defined solution, NA
TD will typically generate a highly
complicated local solution whose global completion, if it exists, is completely obscured. The
main motivation of the present paper is to consider, as seeds of the NATD, full-fledged brane
solutions – as opposed to AdS near-horizon solutions, which has been the case before. The point
is that, as we will see, being able to follo
w the interpolation between the near-horizon and spatial
infinity limit, gives us a better handle on the brane configuration and the global properties of the
dual.
Before NA
TD, standard intersecting brane solutions (i.e. those following the simple harmonic
superposition rule) often interpolate between two asymptotic regions, each of which is an inde-
pendent supergravity solution in its own right: flat space at spatial infinity, and the near-horizon
limit – which in the examples considered here always contains an AdS f
actor. In fact the brane
is not strictly-speaking present in these solutions: the brane backreacts on the flat space in which
it is initially inserted and dissolves into flux, so that the resulting solution is without sources.
1
In
the interpolating and near-horizon solutions there is still a remnant of the brane, whose charge
can be computed by integrating the flux.
The NA
TD of the spatial infinity limit of a standard intersecting brane solution is then univer-
sal, i.e. it is the same for all standard intersecting brane solutions: it is simply the NA TD of flat
space. As we will see in detail in section 2.2.2, in this case an SU(2) NATD generates a distrib
u-
tion, whose density can be determined explicitly, of parallel NS5 branes continuously distributed
along a half line. However after NATD the notion of spatial infinity limit and near-horizon limit
are no longer necessarily meaningful. Still, as previously stated, both limits are genuine solu-
tions so that NA TD will generate ne
w solutions out of them. These will be called respectively
the spatial infinity and near-horizon limit of the dual. For the case of the D3 brane, discussed in
section 2, this definition leads to the commutative diagram of Fig. 1.
Furthermore, all e
xamples considered here will be seen to be consistent with the common
lore that Dp brane solutions give rise to D(p+1)-D(p+3)-NS5 backgrounds under SU(2) NATD
transverse to the brane [14].
2
More generally, for nonstandard brane solutions, such as the D2 branes considered here in
sections 4, 5, 6, the geometry may not asymptote to flat space even before NATD. In that case the
original solution and its dual will in general contain non-vanishing fluxes even at spatial infinity.
Nevertheless, by zooming in near the locus of the NS5, one can still see the presence of a contin-
uous distrib
ution of NS5 branes in accordance with the harmonic superposition prescription for
intersecting branes.
Having the full interpolating solution can f
acilitate reading off the possible global completions
of the geometry after NA TD. In particular the topology of the slices r = constant can be studied
more easily by taking the spatial infinity limit r →∞, where the various expressions simplify.
1
Nevertheless the harmonic superposition rule allows us to trace the original source (i.e. before backreaction) as a
delta function defined in flat space.
2
Some early examples where this has been hinted at through specific examples are in [8,10], but it was proposed
generally in [14].

Fig. 1. (a) D3 brane in flat space; (b) empty flat space; (c) configuration of intersecting D4-D6-NS5 branes;
(d) continuous linear distribution of NS5 branes along a half line. The spatial infinity limit of the dual
solution is defined by taking the limit before the NATD.
As already mentioned, this becomes most clear in the standard cases where, before the NATD,
the space becomes flat at spatial infinity and the NATD is universal.
In order to describe the supersymmetric D2-branes of our paper arising from M2 reductions to
IIA on Sasaki-Einstein se
ven-manifolds, we used the formalism of generalized geometry and the
seven-dimensional pure spinors of [15]. We explicitly verify that this class of solutions obeys the
appropriate generalized spinor equations for a supersymmetric domain wa
ll in four dimensions.
One of our main motivations in deriving these supersymmetric domain wall equations was to
search for the brane solution, if it exists, whose near horizon limit corresponds to the massive
IIA solution found in [16]. The near horizon limit of the D2 brane solution we study in section 4
corresponds to the massless limit and pro
vides a simple solution to these supersymmetry equa-
tions in the case of SU(3) structure. A longer term goal is to understand whether the massive IIA
deformation of the backgrounds in section 4 are related to a class of massive IIA AdS
4
solutions
[17] which arise as a compactification from AdS
7
, and are dual to 3d twisted compactifications
of 6d (1, 0) SCFTs. This work was initiated as a first step towards perhaps a better understanding
of the mass deformation solution in [16] and its NATD found in [13]in that context. While we
were unable to find that interpolating mass deformed solution in this paper
, by investigating the
4 R. Terrisse et al. / Nuclear Physics B 947 (2019) 114733
existence of supersymmetric mass-deformed D2 brane solutions we have ruled out a large class
of Ansätze.
The outline of the paper is as follo
ws. We revisit the case of the D3 brane in section 2. Various
D2 brane solutions are examined in sections 4, 5, 6. These are obtained by reduction from eleven
dimensional solutions of M2 branes transverse to cones over S
7
or Y
p,q
reviewed in section 3.
In section 7 we examine massive deformations of the supersymmetric massless IIA D2 brane
solutions of section 4. We start by casting the supersymmetry equations of the branes in the
formalism of generalized geometry in section 7.1. Massive deformations of the resulting pure
spinor equations are examined in section 7.2. We conclude in section 8. In the appendix we
e
xplain our various conventions and compare them to the literature.

Upon quantization of the five-form flux, one obtains the well-known relation between the con-
stant L in the harmonic function and the number N
D3
of D3 branes: L

=4πα

N
D3
.
The D3 branes lie along the R
1,3
directions. This can be seen in a probe approach. Consider
the same expression as (4)for a flux living now in R
1,9
. The coordinates now refer to the metric
(1), but with H = 1. Since in spherical coordinates the S
5
collapses at r = 0, its volume form
d
5
is ill-defined. However F
5
is a well-defined current (i.e. a distribution-valued form) and we
can compute:
dF
5
=d F
5
=4L
4
δ(r)dr ∧d

(5)
This means that a brane is inserted in r = 0. In this coordinate system this is a codimension 6
space, and thus a D3 lying along R
1,3
. In the transverse space R
6
the brane looks like a point.
The D3 no
w acts as a source for the flux F
5
, which backreacts on the metric through Ein-
stein’s equations to give (1). The global geometry has changed, and the S
5
no longer collapses.
The supergravity equations are solved without sources and the brane cannot be seen anymore.
Nevertheless the information about the brane is still present in the charge carried by the flux.

2.1. Near-Horizon and spatial infinity
Taking (1)as an ansatz for the metric, the supergravity equations reduce to an equation on H .
In the probe interpretation this amounts to saying that H is harmonic in the transverse space. If
we further constrain H to depend on r only, the general solution is of the form,
H(r)=a +
b
r
4
, (6)
where a and b are two integration constants. b can readily be interpreted as the brane charge.
Then two limiting cases arise:
Spatial infinity: If b =0, H is a constant and the space is flat without flux: no brane is inserted.
Since H →a when r →∞, this case is called the spatial infinity limit.
Near horizon: If a =0, the solution becomes,

which is the well-known AdS

background. For r → 0, H ∼

so that this case is called
the near horizon limit.
It is remarkable at first sight that both limits correspond to genuine backgrounds. The reason
behind this is that they ultimately correspond to different choices of integration constants. These
considerations might seem trivial for now, but they will be relevant in the following, when the
brane configurations become more involved.
