This supertube can be viewed as a world-volume realization of the sigma-model Q lump.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2001Relativitat general (Física)Partícules (Física nuclear)SupersimetriaTeoria de les supercordesGeneral relativity (Physics)Superstring theoriesParticles (Nuclear physics)Supersymmetryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article562505info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
