Continuing the study in hep-th/0004092 and hep-th/0004092, we investigate a non-trivial string dynamical process related to orientifold planes, i.e., the splitting of physical NS-branes and D(p+2)-branes on orientifold Op-planes. Creation…
We study the anti-de Sitter D-brane dynamics in Hamiltonian formulation. By exploiting the existence of certain conserved charges, we solve the equation of motion for a D1-brane in the AdS3 background and find the space-time dependent…
We analyze in the spirit of hep-th/0110039 the possible existence of supersymmetric $D p - \bar D p$ brane systems in flat ten dimensional Minkowski space. For $p=3,4$ we show that besides the solutions related by T-duality to the $D2 -…
We describe the construction of new locally asymptotically (A)dS geometries with relevance for the AdS/CFT and dS/CFT correspondences. Our approach is to obtain new solutions by analytically continuing black hole solutions. A basic…
We describe a procedure to solve an up to $2N$ problem where the particles are separated topologically in $N$ groups with at most two particles in each. Arbitrary interactions are allowed between the (two) particles within one group. All…
We revisit the effective low-energy dynamics of the volume modulus in warped flux compactifications with anti-D3-branes in order to analyze the prospects for meta-stable de Sitter vacua and brane inflation along the lines of KKLT/KKLMMT. At…
We present an action for Cubic String Field Theory with one embedding coordinate treated separately. We truncate the action at level (3,9), but unlike many other works we do not impose twist symmetry. We also allow arbitrary zero-modes for…
A family of generalized S-brane solutions with orthogonal intersection rules and n Ricci-flat factor spaces in the theory with several scalar fields, antisymmetric forms and multiple scalar potential is considered. Two subclasses of…
We extend our earlier study of special double limits of `boosted' $AdS_5$ black hole solutions to include all black D$p$-branes of type II strings. We find that Lifshitz solutions can be obtained in generality, with varied dynamical…
We investigate 4D dS solutions with co-dimension two branes and finite 4D Planck mass in six dimensions. We present the conditions under which six-dimensional compactifications with holomorphic axion-dilaton field or models with pure…
We express the infinite sum of D-fivebrane instanton corrections to ${\cal R}^2$ couplings in ${\cal N}=4$ type I string vacua, in terms of an elliptic index counting 1/2-BPS excitations in the effective $Sp(N)$ brane theory. We compute the…
In this paper, we address how to implement T duality to the closed string tree cylinder amplitude between a Dp brane and a Dp$'$ brane with $p - p' = 2 \,n$. For this, we first compute the closed string tree cylinder amplitude between these…
We present an exact time-dependent solution to the effective D-brane world-volume theory which describes an inhomogeneous decay of a brane-antibrane system. We compute the quantum energy flux induced by the particle creation in this…
We review the symmetry energy in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence. After constructing $D$ brane configurations corresponding to dense system in boundary theory, we calculate the symmetry energy by solving DBI action of $D$ branes in…
We consider a simplified Ansatz for supergravity solutions describing fractional p-brane solutions (throat geometries supported by fluxes) for various p. For p=3 the Ansatz captures the Klebanov-Tseytlin (KT) solution. The equations of…
In this note, we will discuss two aspects of brane-antibrane forces. In one aspect, we generalize the force calculation of D0-${\bar {\rm D}}$0 of Banks and Susskind to Dp-${\bar {\rm D}}p$ for $1\le p \leq 8$. In particular, we find that…
We study aspects of Dirichlet S-branes, which are defined as Dirichlet boundary condition on a time like embedding of open strings, in general backgrounds. By applying T-duality along an isometry of the unphysical dS2-branes in NS-NS…
We present an action functional and derive equations of motion for a coupled system of a bosonic Dp--brane and an open string ending on the Dp-brane. With this example we address the key issues of the recently proposed method…
It is pointed out that in the warped string compactification, motion of anti-D-branes near the bottom of a throat behaves like dark matter. Several scenarios for production of the dark matter are suggested, including one based on the…
We compute the force between a stack of smeared antibranes at the bottom of a warped throat and a stack of smeared branes at some distance up the throat, both for anti-D3 branes and for anti-M2 branes. We perform this calculation in two…
