Abstract

In search for a dynamical description of Q7-branes, which were known as solutions of supergravity equations and then conjectured to be dynamical objects of type IIB string theory, we study the superembedding description of 7-branes in curved type IIB supergravity superspace. With quite minimal and natural assumptions we have found that there is no place for Q7-branes as dynamical branes in superembedding approach. As Q7-brane was also considered as a bound state of two SD7-branes (this is to say of two 7-branes related to the D7-brane by different SL(2) transformation), our study might give implications for the old-standing problem of the covariant and supersymmetric description of multiple Dirichlet p-brane systems.
