Gauge Theories from Dp-branes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

In this talk we discuss the need to introduce a string theory in order to obtain a consistent quantum theory of gravity unified with gauge interactions. We then discuss some basic properties of string theory and the origin and the properties of the D(irichlet)-branes. Finally we use them for discussing the Maldacena conjecture and its extension to non-conformal and less supersymmetric theories.
