It has been shown that membranes and fivebranes are wave-like or monopole-like solutions in some higher dimensional theory. Here the picture is completed by combining the wave and monopole solutions into a single solution of Exceptional…
We determine the consistent D-brane configurations in type II nonsupersymmetric Melvin Background. The D-branes are analysed from three complementary points of view: the effective Born-Infeld action, the open string partition function and…
We find new BPS solutions to the nonabelian theory on a world-volume of parallel D1-branes. Our solutions describe two parallel, separated bundles of N D1-branes expanding out to form a single orthogonal D3-brane. This configuration…
We study intersecting brane systems that realize a class of singular monopole configurations in four-dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. Singular monopoles are solutions to the Bogomolny equation on R^3 with a prescribed number of…
We examine noncommutative solutions of the nonabelian theory on the world-volume of N coincident D-strings. These solutions can be interpreted in terms of noncommutative geometry as funnels describing the nonabelian D-string expanding out…
It is shown that the worldvolume field theory of a single D3-brane in a supergravity D3-brane background admits finite energy, and non-singular, abelian monopoles and dyons preserving 1/2 or 1/4 of the ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetry and…
We construct a family of supersymmetric solutions in time-dependent backgrounds in supergravity theories. One class of the solutions are intersecting brane solutions and another class are brane solutions in pp-wave backgrounds, and their…
The relative coefficients of higher derivative interactions of the IIB effective action of the form C^4, (D F_5)^4, F_5^8, ... (where C is the Weyl tensor and F_5 is the five-form field strength) are motivated by supersymmetry arguments. It…
We solve the Killing spinor equations of 6-dimensional (1,0) superconformal theories which include hyper-multiplets in all cases. We show that the solutions preserve 1,2,3,4 and 8 supersymmetries. We find models with self-dual string…
We present the magnetic duals of G\"uven's electric-type solutions of D=11 supergravity preserving $1/4$ or $1/8$ of the D=11 supersymmetry. We interpret the electric solutions as $n$ orthogonal intersecting membranes and the magnetic…
We analyze the world-volume solitons of a D3-brane probe in the background of parallel (p,q) five-branes. The D3-brane is embedded along the directions transverse to the five-branes of the background. By using the S-duality invariance of…
Magnetic monopole solutions naturally arise in the context of spontaneously broken gauge theories. When the unbroken symmetry includes a non-Abelian subgroup, investigation of the low-energy monopole dynamics by means of the moduli space…
A solution to the BI action describing an expanded D3-brane is considered. The configuration is not supersymmetric but is supported against collapse by the Poynting vector. In the uniform magnetic field limit, the brane magnetic charge…
We explicitly construct soliton solutions in the low energy description of M-theory on S^1/Z_2. It is shown that the 11-dimensional membrane is a BPS solution of this theory if stretched between the Z_2 hyperplanes. A similar statement…
We present a class of low energy type IIB supergravity solutions of two D3-branes rotated by an angle $\alpha \in SU(2)$ in a linear dilaton pp-wave background. The D-branes bound state configurations is found to preserve 1/16 of the total…
We construct the type IIB supergravity solutions describing D3-branes ending on 5-branes, in the near-horizon limit of the D3-branes. Our solutions are holographically dual to the 4d N=4 SU(N) super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory on a half-line,…
We perform here a critical analysis of some non-supersymmetric gravity solutions in Type 0B string theory. We first consider the most general configuration of parallel N electric and M magnetic D3-branes. The field theory living on their…
We study supergravity solutions representing D3-branes with transverse 6-space having R x S^2 x S^3 topology. We consider regular and fractional D3-branes on a natural one-parameter extensions of the standard Calabi-Yau metrics on the…
We consider a D-dimensional self-gravitating spherically symmetric configuration of a generalized electro-magnetic n-form F and a dilatonic scalar field, admitting an interpretation in terms of intersecting p-branes. For theories with…
Unphysical 3-form flux singularities near anti-branes have been argued to get resolved in the classical supergravity regime when brane polarisation is properly taken into account. The only example that does not seem to fit this logic is the…
