We consider geometric engineering of N=1 supersymmetric QFTs with matter in terms of a local model for compactification of F-theory on Calabi-Yau fourfold. By bringing 3-branes near 7-branes we engineer N=1 supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ gauge…
Inspired by geometric engineering method, we approach qubit systems in the context of D-branes in type II superstrings. Concretely, we establish a correspondence between such quantum systems and polyvalent singularities appearing in local…
We offer some thoughts regarding the space of string fields. We suggest that this space should be identified as the odd component of a star-algebra and focus among other issues on the role of the mid-point. We argue that theories with…
We use a simple algebraic method to find a special class of composite p-brane solutions of higher dimensional gravity coupled with matter. These solutions are composed of n constituent p-branes corresponding n independent harmonic…
We construct a class of analytic solutions of WZW-type open superstring field theory describing marginal deformations of a reference D-brane background. The deformations we consider are generated by on-shell vertex operators with vanishing…
We study a matrix version of the purely cubic open string field theory as describing the expansion around the closed string vacuum. Any D-branes in the given closed string background can appear as classical solutions by using the identity…
This thesis is based on two papers by the author and consists of two parts. We review the recent developments in the theory of multiple M2-branes and 3-algebras leading to multiple D2-brane theories. The inclusion of flux terms for the…

We construct supergravity plus branes solutions, which we argue to be related to 4d N=1 SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio Nf/Nc which can be kept of order one, present a good singularity at the origin…
A classification of D-branes in Type IIB Op^- orientifolds and orbifolds in terms of Real and equivariant KK-groups is given. We classify D-branes intersecting orientifold planes from which are recovered some special limits as the spectrum…
We prove that the finite gauge transformation of the Ramond sector of the modified cubic superstring field theory is ill-defined due to collisions of picture changing operators. Despite this problem we study to what extent could a bijective…
We construct the D3-brane dual to a $k$-quark of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory in the totally symmetric representation of $SU(N)$, undergoing arbitrary motion. Our method of construction generalizes previous work by Mikhailov, and…
In some models of N=1 supersymmetric SU(M) gauge dynamics (hep-th/9503163 and hep-th/9707244), the tension of a string ending on q external quarks is proportional to sin(pi q/M), q=1,..., M-1. In this paper we calculate the ratios of the…
A geometrical analysis is given of Dirichlet fourbrane creation, when sixbrane crosses fivebrane in M-theory. A special property of the Taub-NUT space leads to the consequence. When brane configurations are considered for four dimensional…
I discuss tree-level amplitudes in cubic topological string field theory, showing that a certain family of gauge conditions leads to an A-infty algebra of tree-level string products which define a potential describing the dynamics of…

We study non-linear corrections to the low-energy description of the (2,0) theory. We argue for the existence of a topological correction term similar to the C3 wedge X8(R) in M-theory. This term can be traced to a classical effect in…
