We construct a similar configuration, with extra RR and NS-NS three-form fluxes being turned on. We can avoid the Freed-Witten anomaly on the D3-branes by enforcing the pullback of these extra fluxes to the D3-branes to vanish at the classical level. In the setup the D3-brane charge is not conserved since it is classified as a trivial class in twisted K-theory. Consequently, the D3-branes may disappear by encountering an instantonic D5-brane localized in time. We discuss what happens on the black hole described by such disappearing D3-branes, relying mainly on topological arguments. Especially, we argue that another RR three-form flux will be left as a lump of remnant which is localized in the uncompactified four-dimensional space-time and that it may carry the same amount of degrees of freedom to describe a black hole, in cooperation with the original NS-NS flux, after this transition of the D3-branes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-08-09T13:08:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "black hole", "brane-flux transition", "type iib superstring theory", "rr three-form flux", "ns-ns three-form fluxes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "J.
