BPS quantization of the five-brane

We give a unified description of all BPS states of M-theory compactified on T^5 in terms of the five-brane. We compute the mass spectrum and degeneracies and find that the SO(5,5,Z) U-duality symmetry naturally arises as a T-duality by assuming that the world-volume theory of the five-brane itself i...
