We obtain the bosonic D-brane description of toroidally compactified non-trivial M2-branes with the unique property of having a purely discrete supersymmetric regularized spectrum with finite multiplicity. As a byproduct, we generalize the…
We give an overview of recent progress in the study of fermion mass and flavor mixing phenomena. Mass matrix ansatze are considered within the SM and SUSY GUTs where some predictive frameworks based on SU(5) and SO(10) are reviewed. We…
We present dyonic multi-membrane solutions of the N=2 D=8 supergravity theory that serves as the effective field theory of the $T^2$-compactified type II superstring theory. The `electric' charge is fractional for generic asymptotic values…
We study D1-branes on the fourfold $\C^4/(\Z_2\times\Z_2\times\Z_2)$, in the presence of discrete torsion. Discrete torsion is incorporated in the gauge theory of the D1-branes by considering a projective representation of the finite group…
We test the background geometry of the BFSS model using a D4-brane probe. This proves a sensitive test of the geometry and we find excellent agreement with the D4-brane predictions based on the solution of a membrane corresponding to the…
The 256 dimensional M2-brane multiplet contains solitons of many different intrinsic spins. Using the broken supersymmetry transformations of the M2-brane, we find supergravity solutions which explicitly display these spins. This amounts to…
A common way to obtain standard-model-like Lagrangians in string theory is to place D3-branes inside flux compactifications. The bosonic and fermionic masses and couplings of the resulting gauge theory are determined by the ten-dimensional…
The low energy effective field theory of type II D4-branes coupled to bulk supergravity fields is used to investigate {\it quantum} effects for D4-branes in the D0 supergravity background. Classically, the D4-branes are unaffected by this…
We consider two dimensional QCD with the spatial dimension compactified to a circle. We show that the states in the theory consist of interacting strings that wind around the circle and derive the Hamiltonian for this theory in the large…
A number of proposed extensions of the Standard Model include new strongly interacting dynamics, in the form of SU(N) gauge fields coupled to various numbers of fermions. Often, these extensions allow N = 3 as a plausible choice, or even…
We emphasize the necessity of a delicate interplay between the gauge and gravitational sectors of five-dimensional brane worlds in creating phenomenologically relevant vacua. We discuss locally supersymmetric brane worlds with unflipped and…
We study non-supersymmetric fermion mass and condensate deformations of the AdS/CFT Correspondence. The 5 dimensional supergravity flows are lifted to a complete and remarkably simple 10 dimensional background. A brane probe analysis shows…
The understanding of the fermionic sector of the worldvolume D-brane dynamics on a general background with fluxes is crucial in several branches of string theory, like for example the study of nonperturbative effects or the construction of…
We study baryons and baryonic matter in holographic QCD using a D4/D8/$\bar{\rm D8}$ multi-D-brane system in the superstring theory. We obtain the chiral soliton solution for baryons in the four-dimensional meson theory derived from the…
We study the relation between the D8-branes wrapped on an orientable compact manifold $W$ in a massive Type IIA supergravity background and the M9-branes wrapped on a compact manifold $Z$ in a massive d=11 supergravity background from the…
We study, by using tools of the dynamical system theory, a fermionic string streched from a non-commutative D2-brane (stack of D0-branes in the BFSS model) to a probe D0-brane as a quantum system driven by a chaotic system, the (classical…
The classical probe dynamics of the eleven-dimensional massless superparticles in the background geometry produced by N source M-momenta is investigated in the framework of N-sector DLCQ supergravity. We expand the probe action up to the…
Talk presented in the 97 Karpatcz winter school. We describe Sen's work on F theory on K3 and its reflection on the world-volume field theory on a D3-brane probe. Field theories on a multiple of probes are analyzed. We construct a 4d N=1…
In the brane-world scenario, our universe is understood as a three dimensional hypersurface embedded in a higher dimensional space-time. The fluctuations of the brane along the extra dimensions are seen from the four-dimensional point of…
The emerging study of fractons, a new type of quasi-particle with restricted mobility, has motivated the construction of several classes of interesting continuum quantum field theories with novel properties. One such class consists of…
