The first requires consistency of the condition under the charge shifts produced by (generalized) $\\theta$-terms. The second traces the sign difference between adjoining dimensions to compactification effects.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1998-03-19T20:20:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dimensional reduction", "p-brane dyons", "theta-terms", "charge quantization condition", "brane dyon sources" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 468122 } } }
