We study Myers world-volume effective action of coincident D-branes. We investigate a system of N_0 D0-branes in the geometry of Dp-branes with p=2 or p=4. The choice of coordinates can make the action simplified and tractable. For p=4, we…

In extended supergravity theories there are $p$-brane solutions preserving different numbers of supersymmetries, depending on the charges, the spacetime dimension and the number of original supersymmetries (8, 16 or 32). We find U-duality…
Dynamical skew braces are known to produce solutions to the quiver-theoretic Yang--Baxter equation. Under a technical hypothesis, we prove that these solutions are braided groupoids (and hence skew bracoids in the sense of Sheng, Tang and…
