M2-M5 brane bound state

Idea

bound states of M2-branes with M5-branes;

in particular dyonic$\,$black M2-branes, i.e. M5-branes wrapped on a 3-manifold (ILPT 95)

Properties

Image in type II string theory

For the type II string theory-version see at NS5-brane the section NS5/D4/D2 bound states.
