A geometric approach to D-branes in group manifolds

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

This is a brief review of some recent results on the geometric approach to symmetric D-branes in group manifolds, both twisted and untwisted. We describe the geometry of the gluing conditions and the quantisation condition in the boundary WZW model, and we illustrate this by determining the consistent twisted and untwisted D-branes in the Lie group SU_3.
