World volume solitons of the D3-brane in the background of (p, q) five-branes

We analyze the world volume solitons of a D3-brane probe in the background of parallel (p, q) five-branes. The D3-brane is embedded along the directio ns transverse to the five-branes of the background. By using the S duality invariance of the D3-brane, we find a first-order differential equation who se solutions saturate an energy bound. The SO(3) invariant solutions of thi s equation are found analytically They represent world Volume solitons whic h can be interpreted as formed by parallel (-q, p) strings emanating from t he D3-brane world volume. It is shown that these configurations are 1/4 sup ersymmetric and provide a world volume realization of the Hanany-Witten eff ect.
