Abstract:

Geometrical analysis is given of Dirichlet fourbrane creation in the case that a sixbrane crosses a fivebrane in M-theory. A special property of the Taub-NUT space leads to the result. When brane configurations are considered for four-dimensional N=2 field theories, the sixbrane contributes to the β-function through the Dirac string of the Taub-NUT space.
