We have studied a problem of the tachyon mediated D-brane - D-brane annihilation from the underlying world-volume gauge field theory point of view. The initial state was chosen in the form of two D-branes crossing at a non-zero angle, which…

We analyse of the effective action of the tachyon field on a D-brane, of both bosonic as well as superstring theory. We find that the non-standard kinetic term of the tachyon field requires a correction to the Born-Infeld type Lagrangian.…

We study a bosonic open string coupled to a tachyonic background field $T[X]$ and find that the tachyon field can effectively be replaced by a configuration of D-branes placed at either the zeros or the critical points of $T[X]$, depending…

We consider a brane world scenario which arises as the near-horizon region of a non-extremal D5-brane. There is a quasi-localized massive graviton mode, as well as harmonic modes of higher mass which are bound to the brane to a lesser…

We investigate the D-brane bound states from the viewpoint of the unstable D/\bar{D}-system and their tachyon condensation. We consider two systems; a system of k D(-1)-branes and N D3-branes with open strings connecting them and a system…

We revisit a non-perturbative formulation leading to a vacuum created gravitational pair of (33)-brane by a Poincare dual higher form U (1) gauge theory on a D4 -brane. In particular, the analysis has revealed a dynamical geometric torsion…

We analyse the orbital motion of a light anti D6-brane in the presence of a stack of heavy, distant D6-branes in ten dimensions, taking account of possible time-variations in the background moduli fields. The Coulomb-like central potential…

We study the Symmetry Topological Field Theory in holography associated with 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ Super Yang-Mills theory with gauge algebra $\mathfrak{su}(M)$. From this, all the bulk symmetry operators are computed and matched to various…

We study tachyon condensation on noncommutative toric orbifolds with a $Z_2$ discrete group and explore the various kins of brane bound states arising in the case of irrational values of the B-field. We show that $Z_$ symmetry of the…

We study the cosmological evolution of a single BPS D-brane in the absence of potential, which is in the category of the Chaplygin gas cosmological model. When such a D-brane coupled to gravity moves in the bulk with a non-vanishing…

We construct the M5-brane limit of eleven-dimensional supergravity. The resulting action is invariant under Galilean boosts and has a local scale symmetry. We also consider the limit of the equations of motion where we recover a…
