We compute RR charges of D2-branes on a background with H-field which belongs to a nontrivial cohomology class. We discover that the RR charge depends on the configuration of the background `electric' RR field. This result explains the…
This note focuses on the coupling of a type IIA D2-brane to a background B field. It is shown that the D0-brane charge arising from the integral over the D2-brane of the pullback of the B field is cancelled by bulk contributions, for a…
We study D-branes in SU(2) WZW model by means of the boundary state techniques. We realize the ``fuzzy sphere'' configuration of multiple D0-branes as the boundary state with the insertion of suitable Wilson line. By making use of the…
We discuss possible D-brane configurations on SU(2) group manifolds in the sigma model approach. When we turn the boundary conditions of the spacetime fields into the boundary gluing conditions of chiral currents, we find that for all…
In this letter we discuss charges of D-branes on the group manifold SO(3). Our discussion will be based on a conformal field theory analysis of boundary states in a Z_2-orbifold of SU(2). This orbifold differs from the one recently…
The spectrum of D2-branes wrapped on an ALE space of general ADE type is determined, by representing them as boundary states of N=2 superconformal minimal models. The stable quantum states have RR charges which precisely represent the gauge…
It is stated in the literature that D-branes in the WZW-model associated with the gluing condition J = - \bar{J} along the boundary correspond to branes filling out the whole group volume. We show instead that the end-points of open strings…
It is shown that the RR charges of Gepner models are not all accounted for by the usual tensor product and permutation branes. In order to characterise the missing D-branes we study the matrix factorisation approach to the description of…
The maximally symmetric D-branes of string theory on the non-simply connected Lie group SU(n)/Z_d are analysed using conformal field theory methods, and their charges are determined. Unlike the well understood case for simply connected…
In this review we show how K-theory classifies RR-charges in type II string theory and how the inclusion of the B-field modifies the general structure leading to the twisted K-groups. Our main purpose is to give an expository account of the…
We reconsider the problem of U(1) flux and D0-charge for D-branes in the WZW model and investigate the relationship between the different definitions that have been proposed recently. We identify the D0-charge as a particular reduction of a…
The charges of the twisted D-branes of certain WZW models are determined. The twisted D-branes are labelled by twisted representations of the affine algebra, and their charge is simply the ground state multiplicity of the twisted…
The paper is connected with searches for the Ramond-Ramond charge of D branes in the presence of B field. The consideration of B field inclusion is an important physical and mathematical unsolved problem, which is connected with K group…
In string theory D-branes can be classified by the RR-charge they carry. In the simplest case the quantized RR-charge takes values in K-theory of the spacetime manifold. However, if the D-brane worldvolume is not spin^c or if there is a…
We show that the geometric interpretation of D-branes in WZW models as twisted conjugacy classes persists in the $\lambda$--deformed theory. We obtain such configurations by demanding that a monodromy matrix constructed from the Lax…
We study tachyon condensation on brane-antibrane systems in orbifold theories from the viewpoint of boundary string field theory. We show that the condensation of holomorphic tachyon fields generates various fractional D-branes. The…
We construct D-branes in a left-right asymmetrically gauged WZW model, with the gauge subgroup embedded differently on the left and the right of the group element. The symmetry-preserving boundary conditions for the group-valued field $g$…
The RR Page charges for the D2-, D4-, D6-brane in B fields are constructed explicitly from the equations of motion and the nonvanishing (modified) Bianchi identities by exploiting their properties --- conserved and localized. It is found…
The charges of the exceptionally twisted (D4 with triality and E6 with charge conjugation) D-branes of WZW models are determined from the microscopic/CFT point of view. The branes are labeled by twisted representations of the affine…
We study boundary renormalization group flows of N=2 minimal models using Landau-Ginzburg description of B-type. A simple algebraic relation of matrices is relevant. We determine the pattern of the flows and identify the operators that…
