Abstract

We study worldsheet instanton corrections to the exotic \( 5_2^2-\mathrm{brane} \) geometry in type II string theory. The BPS vortices in the \( \mathcal{N} \) = (4, 4) gauged linear sigma model modify the geometry of the \( 5_2^2-\mathrm{brane} \). We find that the modification of the geometry is understood by the localization in the T-dualized winding direction.
