We present a systematic study of a new type of consistent ``Brane-world Kaluza-Klein Reduction,'' which describe fully non-linear deformations of co-dimension one objects that arise as solutions of a large class of gauged supergravity…
A Rayleigh-Schrodinger type of perturbation scheme is employed to study weak self-interacting scalar potential perturbations occurring in scalar field models describing 1D domain kinks and 3D domain walls. The solutions for the unperturbed…
A manifestly covariant equation is derived to describe the perturbations in a domain wall on a given background spacetime. This generalizes recent work on domain walls in Minkowski space and introduces a framework for examining the…
We study normal functions capturing D-brane superpotentials on several one- and two-parameter Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections in weighted projective space. We calculate in the B-model and interpret the results using…

We perturbatively construct asymptotically $\mathbb{R}^{1,3}\times\mathbb{T}^2$ black branes with multiple inhomogeneous directions and show that some of them are thermodynamically preferred over uniform branes in both the microcanonical…
We study the existence and stability of Q-balls in noncanonical scalar field theories, $K(|\Phi|^2,X)$ where $\Phi$ is the complex scalar field and $X$ is the kinetic term. We extend the Vakhitov-Kolokolov stability criterion to K-field…
We consider a thick p-brane embedded in an n-dimensional spacetime possessing radial symmetry in the directions orthogonal to the brane. We first consider a static brane, and find a general fine tuning relationship between the brane and…

We study the linearization of line bundles and the local structure of actions of connected linear algebraic groups, in the setting of seminormal varieties. We show that several classical results about normal varieties extend to that…
The cosmological two brane model is discussed in detail. An elegant method for deriving the generalised non-linear equations for the interbrane distance is presented. These equations are used to identify equilibrium positions of the radion,…
We analyze the axially-symmetric scalar perturbations of 6D chiral gauged supergravity compactified on the general warped geometries in the presence of two source branes. We find all of the conical geometries are marginally stable for…
The singularity structure and the corresponding asymptotic behavior of a 3-brane coupled to a scalar field in a five dimensional bulk is analyzed in full generality, using the method of asymptotic splittings. It is shown that the collapse…
This work deals with models described by three real scalar fields in one spatial dimension. We study the case where two of the three fields engender kinematical modifications, which respond as geometrical constrictions, that can be used to…
We study the objects (called spectral branes or S-branes) which are obtained by imposing non-local spectral boundary conditions at the boundary of the world sheet of the bosonic string. They possess many nice properties which make them an…
Some general properties of the relativistic $p$-dimensional surface imbedded into $D$-dimensional spacetime and its reduction to the sim\-plest case of the quadratic Lagrangian (the linearized model) are considered. The solutions of the…
We find lower bounds on the rank of a "real" vector bundle over an involutive space, such that "real" vector bundles of higher rank have a trivial summand and such that a stable isomorphism for such bundles implies ordinary isomorphism. We…

We construct a lot of K3 surface automorphisms of positive entropy having rotation domains of ranks 1 and 2. To carry out this construction, we first lay theoretical foundations concerning equivariant linearization of nonlinear maps under…
