We study the dynamics of an open membrane with a cylindrical topology, in the background of a constant three form, whose boundary is attached to p-branes. The boundary closed string is coupled to a two form potential to ensure gauge…

In a previous paper (hep-th/0509067) using matrix model, we showed that closed string tachyons can resolve spacelike singularity in one particular class of Misner space (with anti-periodic boundary conditions for fermions around the spatial…

This chapter is an introduction to the Free Fermionic Formulation of String Theory, with emphasis on heterotic model building. After a brief review of bosonization in two dimensional conformal field theories, we discuss how internal bosonic…

We discuss the non-linear sigma model representing a NSR open string in a curved background with non-zero $B_{\mu\nu}$-field. With this coupling the theory is not automatically supersymmetric, due to boundary contributions. When B=0…

In this paper we consider the worldsheet of superstring as a noncommutative space. Some additional terms can be added to the superstring action, such that for ordinary worldsheet they are zero. Expansion of this extended action up to the…

We study the dynamics of an open membrane with a cylindrical topology, in the background of a constant three form. We use the action, due to Bergshoeff, London and Townsend, to study the noncommutativity properties of the boundary string…

In a recent work it has been shown that the bosonic strings could be embedded into a special class of $N=1$ fermionic strings. We argue that the superpartners of any physical state in the spectrum of this fermionic string is non-physical.…

We give a brief summary of algebraic aspects of string theory arising in the noncommutative geometry setting of foliations called string diagrammatics which we introduced jointly with Bob Penner. We furthermore discuss how this gives rise…

In this pedagogical mini course the basics of the derivation of the noncommutative structures appearing in string theory are reviewed. First we discuss the well established appearance of the noncommutative Moyal-Weyl star-product in the…

We investigate classical dynamics of the bosonic string in the background metric, antisymmetric and dilaton fields. We use canonical methods to find Hamiltonian in terms of energy-momentum tensor components. The later are secondary…

We outline a brief description of non commutative geometry and present some applications in string theory. We use the fuzzy torus as our guiding example.

The aim of this work is to further study the fractional bosonic string theory. In particular, we wrote the energy-momentum tensor in the fractional conformal gauge and study their symmetries. We introduced the Virasoro operators of all…

We study free open fermionic strings on a non-commutative phase space. Modified super-Virasoro algebras in both Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz sectors acquire non-commutativity anomalies, and this noncommutativity also breaks Lorentz symmetry and…

In this work we will investigate how the non-commutativity arises into the string theory, \textit{i.e.}, how the bosonic string theory attaches to a D3-brane in the presence of magnetic fields. In order to accomplish the proposal, we…

Quantization of coordinates leads to the non-commutative product of deformation quantization, but is also at the roots of string theory, for which space-time coordinates become the dynamical fields of a two-dimensional conformal quantum…

We define string geometry: spaces of superstrings including the interactions, their topologies, charts, and metrics. Trajectories in asymptotic processes on a space of strings reproduce the right moduli space of the super Riemann surfaces…

We describe how the presence of the antisymmetric tensor (torsion) on the world sheet action of string theory renders the size of the target space a gauge non invariant quantity. This generalizes the R <--> 1/R symmetry in which momenta and…

We identify new, rather serious, physical and axiomatic inconsistencies of the current formulation of string theories due to the lack of invariant units necessary for measurements, lack of preservation in time of Hermiticity-observability,…

We propose an alternative interpretation for the meaning of noncommutativity of the string-inspired field theories and quantum mechanics. Arguments are presented to show that the noncommutativity generated in the stringy context should be…

The first part of this thesis is a general introduction to the bosonic and fermionic string theory, to the concept of D brane and to string dualities. A discussion of anomalies cancellation closes the chapter. The second part of the thesis…
