Abstract

We discuss the sigma model description of a D-string bound to k D-fivebranes in type I string theory. The effective theory is an (0, 4) supersymmetric hyper-Kähler with torsion sigma model on the moduli space of Sp(k) instantons on ℝ⁴. Upon toroidal compactification to five dimensions the model is related to the type II picture where the target space is a symmetric product of K3's.
