Towards a classification of branes in theories with eight supercharges

Towards a classification of branes in theories with eight supercharges

We provide a classification of half-supersymmetric branes in quarter-maximal supergravity theories with scalars parametrising coset manifolds. We show that the results previously obtained for the half-maximal theories give evidence that half-supersymmetric branes correspond to the real longest weights of the representations of the brane charges, where the reality properties of …
