. circle. The 11-dimensional theory has 5- branes and 2-branes, and the 2-brane can end on the 5-brane. If we wrap onthe compact circle both the 5-brane and the 2-brane that ends on it, then in theType. IIA theory we get a D4-brane and an open string ending on the D4-brane.But if we do not wrap the 5-brane on the circle, and thus get a 5-brane in theType IIA theory, then the open string cannot. fermions.
