Brane resolution and gravitational Chern Simons terms

Brane resolution and gravitational Chern Simons terms

We show that gravitational Chernā€“Simons corrections, associated with the Ļƒ-model anomaly on the M5-brane worldvolume, can resolve the M2-brane solution with Ricci-flat, special holonomy transverse space. We explicitly find smooth solutions in the cases when the transverse space is a manifold of Spin(7) holonomy and SU(4) holonomy. We comment on ā€¦
