(Dis)assembling special Lagrangians

Abstract:
We explain microscopically why split attractor flows, known to underlie certain stationary BPS solutions of four dimensional N=2 supergravity, are the relevant data to describe wrapped D-branes in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type II string theory. We work entirely in the context of the classical geometry of A-branes, i.e. special Lagrangian submanifolds, avoiding both the use of homological algebra and explicit constructions of special Lagrangians. Our results provide a way to disassemble and assemble arbitrary special Lagrangians to and from more simple building blocks, giving a concrete way to determine for example marginal stability walls and deformation moduli spaces.- membrane model: D-brane
