On the stability of compactified D=11 supermembranes: Global aspects of the bosonic sector

Martin, I; Restuccia, A; Torrealba, R

Abstract

We prove that the Hamiltonian for the bosonic sector of D = 11 supermembrane theories, wrapped in an irreducible way around S-1 x S-1 x M-9 on the target manifold, only has strict minima without infinite-dimensional valleys. The minima occur at monopole connections of an associated U(1) bundle over topologically non-trivial Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Explicit expressions for the minimal connections in terms of membrane maps are presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
