A characteristic of D-brane inflation is that fluctuations in the inflaton field can propagate at a speed significantly less than the speed of light. This yields observable effects that are distinct from those of single-field slow roll…
Using gauge/gravity duality techniques, we discuss the sound-channel retarded correlators of vector and tensor conserved currents in a class of $(2+1)$-dimensional strongly-coupled field theories at zero temperature and finite charge…
We study the properties of a D-brane in the presence of $k$ NS5 branes. The Dirac-Born-Infeld action describing the dynamics of this D-brane is very similar to that of a non-BPS D-brane in ten dimensions. As the D-brane approaches the…
We study N=1 dualities in four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories as the worldvolume theory of D4 branes with one compact direction in type IIA string theory. We generalize the previous work for SO(N_{c1}) x Sp(N_{c2}) with the…
The cosmological constant on a D-brane is analyzed. This D-brane is in the background produced by the p-brane solutions. The energy-momentum tensor in this model has been found and the form of the cosmological constant has been derived.…
Intersecting D-brane models and their T-dual magnetic compactifications yield attractive models of particle physics where magnetic flux plays a twofold role, being the source of fermion chirality as well as supersymmetry breaking. A…
We consider a five dimensional AdS spacetime with two 3-brane scenario where the hidden brane contains a certain amount of positive constant energy density. In this model, we examine the possibility of modulus stabilization. Our result…
In N=1, 2D superstring theory in the linear dilaton background, there exists falling D0-branes that are described by time-dependent boundary states. These falling D0-brane boundary states can be obtained by adapting the FZZT boundary states…
In the literature, to extract the dispersion relation of low-frequency quasinormal modes in both diffusive and shear channels, it is a customary recipe to assume firstly $\omega\sim\mathcal{O}$ to solve the equation of motion and finally…
The Hamiltonian describing Matrix theory on T^n is identified with the Hamiltonian describing the dynamics of D0-branes on T^n in an appropriate weak coupling limit for all n up to 5. New subtleties arise in taking this weak coupling limit…
We revisit the Holographic duality between $SU(N)_\kappa$ Chern-Simons theory and the A-model Topological String Theory. We develop a strategy to systematically compute the large $N$ saddles for correlation functions of Wilson lines in…
It has been known for about thirty years that a scattering amplitude involving D0-branes and closed strings suffers from infrared divergences beyond tree level. These divergences arise because the conventional world-sheet approach cannot…
We study systems of $D6$ and $\bar D 6$ branes with non zero world-volume magnetic fields in the weak coupling limit. We find two configurations for which the conditions for absence of tachyons in the spectra coincide exactly with those…
This thesis is devoted to the construction and study of D-branes in some curved space-times in string theory. On the one hand, those D-branes are described geometrically as submanifolds subject to Born-Infeld effective dynamics. On the…
According to the gauge/gravity duality conjecture, the thermodynamics of gauge theory describing D-branes corresponds to that of black branes in superstring theory. We test this conjecture directly in the case of D0-branes by applying Monte…
An exact conformal field theory describing a four dimensional 2-brane solution is found by considering a chiral gauged Wess-Zumino -Witten theory corresponding to $SL(2, R)\times R$ , where one gauges the one dimensional $U(1)$ subgroup…
It was known that the U$(N)^4$ super Chern-Simons matrix model describing the worldvolume theory of D3-branes with two NS5-branes and two $(1,k)$5-branes in IIB brane configuration (dual to M2-branes after taking the T-duality and the…
We study various aspects of D-branes in the two families of closed N=2 strings denoted by \alpha and \beta in hep-th/0211147. We consider two types of N=2 boundary conditions, A-type and B-type. We analyse the D-branes geometry. We compute…
We study Berry's phase in the D0-D4-brane system. When a D0-brane moves in the background of D4-branes, the first excited states undergo a holonomy described by a non-Abelian Berry connection. At weak coupling this is an SU(2) connection…
Using the nonabelian Dirac-Born-Infeld action with the Wess-Zumino term that is constructed in consistent with T duality we examine the Myers dielectric effect for multiple D0-branes in the near-horizon geometry of D4-branes. The effect in…
