We study the effective actions of various brane configurations in Matrix theory. Starting from the 0+1 dimensional quantum mechanics, we replace coordinate matrices by covariant derivatives in the large N limit, thereby obtaining effective…
In a multidimensional model with several scalar fields and an m-form we deal with classical spherically symmetric solutions with one (electric or magnetic) p-brane and Ricci-flat internal spaces and the corresponding solutions to the…
We obtain explicit time dependent brane solutions in M-theory as well as in string theory by solving the reduced equations of motion (which follow from 11-d supergravity) for a class of brane solutions in curved backgrounds. The behaviour…
This work builds upon the previous article [1] and explores the solution of the charged black string introduced in [2]. The black bounce regularization method, based on the Simpson-Visser solution, is employed by transforming the radial…
Non-extremal overlapping p-brane supergravity solutions localised in their relative transverse coordinates are constructed. The construction uses an algebraic method of solving the bosonic equations of motion. It is shown that these…
In this paper, we provide a simple and modern discussion of rotational superradiance based on quantum field theory. We work with an effective theory valid at scales much larger than the size of the spinning object responsible for…
It is shown that any anisotropic and inhomogeneous cosmological solution to the lowest-order, four-dimensional, dilaton-graviton string equations of motion may be employed as a seed to derive a curved, three-brane cosmological solution to…
We construct supersymmetric M3-brane solutions in D=11 supergravity. They can be viewed as deformations of backgrounds taking the form of a direct product of four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime and a non-compact Ricci-flat manifold of G_2…
We discuss a 4-dimensional nonsupersymmetric black hole solution to low energy type IIA string theory which carries D0- and D6-brane charges. For equal charges this solution reduces to the one discussed recently by Sheinblatt. We present a…
A conjectured finite M-theory based on eleven-dimensional supergravity formulated in a superspace with a non-anticommutative <>-product of field operators is proposed. Supermembranes are incorporated in the superspace <>-product formalism.…
The field-to-particle transition formalizm based on the effective zero-brane action approach is generalized for arbitrary multiscalar fields. As a fruitful example, by virtue of this method we derive the non-minimal particle action for the…
We consider scattering of minimally coupled scalars from a six-dimensional black string carrying one and five brane charges but no Kaluza-Klein momentum. The leading correction to the absorption cross section is found by improved matching…
We consider a picture in which the transition from a big crunch to a big bang corresponds to the collision of two empty orbifold planes approaching each other at a constant non-relativistic speed in a locally flat background space-time, a…
Motivated by the Randall-Sundrum brane-world scenario, we discuss the classical and quantum dynamics of a (d+1)-dimensional boundary wall between a pair of (d+2)-dimensional topological Schwarzschild-AdS black holes. We assume there are…
We discuss long-distance, low-velocity interaction potentials for processes involving longitudinally boosted M5-brane (corresponding in type IIA theory language to the 1/4 supersymmetric bound state of 4-brane and 0-brane). We consider the…
We construct a supergravity solution describing a charged rotating black ring with S^2xS^1 horizon in a five dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime. In the neutral limit the solution is the rotating black ring recently found by Emparan…
The phenomenological implications of the eleven dimensional limit of $M$-theory (strongly coupled $E_8\times E_8$) are investigated. In particular we calculate the supersymmetric particle spectrum subject to constraints of correct…
An overview is given of the way in which the unification program of particle physics has evolved into the proposal of superstring theory as a prime candidate for unifying quantum gravity with the other forces and particles of nature. A key…
We study a particular class of D-brane bound states in type IIB string theory (dubbed "superstrata") that describe microstates of the 5D Strominger-Vafa black hole. By using the microscopic description in terms of open strings we probe…
We consider the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry in five dimensional supergravity with boundaries where the supersymmetry breaking mechanism is provided by the even part of the bulk prepotential. The supersymmetric action comprises…
