Abstract
Starting with intersecting M2-branes in M-theory, the IIA supertube can be found by S 1 compactification followed by a boost to the speed of light in the 11th dimension. A similar procedure applied to Donaldson–Uhlenbeck–Yau instantons on C 3 , viewed as intersecting membranes of D = 7 supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) theory, yields (for finite boost) a new set of 1 / 4 BPS equations for D = 6 SYM-Higgs theory, and (for infinite boost) a generalization of the dyonic instanton equations of D = 5 SYM-Higgs theory, solutions of which are interpreted as Yang–Mills supertubes and realized as configurations of IIB string theory.
