On geometries and monodromies for branes of codimension two

We study geometries for the NS5-, the KK5- and the 522-branes of codimension two in type II and heterotic string theories. The geometries are classified by monodromies that each brane has. They are the B-, the general coordinate and the β-transformations of the spacetime metric, the B-field and the...
