Branes wrapping curves in M-theory. What does it mean?

Hey mate.. ^_^

Hard to tell if the question is after the basic concept or some subtleties of it. Let's first check if the basic concept is clear: a brane configuration of shape some manifold Σ inside a target spacetime X is a suitbaly well behaved map Σ→X....

One says that such a configuration wraps cycles in X if it represents the corresponding element in the homology group of X.....

For instance if Σ=T^2and X=Y×T^2 then the brane wraps that torus surface if the embedding map is the identity onto that torus over some point of Y.....
