Many faces of D-branes: From flat space, via AdS to pp-waves

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

We review recent studies of branes in AdS x S and pp-wave spaces using effective action methods (probe branes and supergravity). We also summarise results on an algebraic study of D-branes in these spaces, using extensions of the superisometry algebras which include brane charges.
