After a presentation of the context and a brief reminder of deformation quantization, we indicate how the introduction of natural topological vector space topologies on Hopf algebras associated with Poisson Lie groups, Lie bialgebras and…
We construct a universal envelope for any Poisson- and Gerstenhaber algebra. While the deformation theory of Poisson algebras seems to be partially trivial, results from string- and M-theory suggest a rich deformation theory of Gerstenhaber…
The bosonic content of string theory in curved background of multidimensional structure with p-branes has a systematic geometrical description as an effective sigma-model of gravity in lower dimension (say 3+1) with additional interacting…
We present a general method to construct bulk-deformed open topological string theories from Landau-Ginzburg models. To this end we obtain a weak version of deformation quantisation, and we show how this together with the technique of…
p-Gerbes are a generalization of bundles that have (p+2)-form field strengths. We develop their properties and use them to show that every theory of p-gerbes can be reinterpreted as a gauge theory containing p-dimensional extended objects.…
Higher Forms Symmetries (HFS) of a closed bosonic M2-brane theory formulated on a compactified target space $\mathcal{M}_9 \times T^2$ are obtained. We show that the cancellation of the 't Hooft anomaly present in the theory is related to a…
The volume-preserving diffeomorphism is a key feature that characterizes the large constant R-R ($p-1$)-form field background in a D$p$-brane theory. It represents a symmetry of the theory that preserves the volume of space. To describe…
A classical model of gravity theory with several dilatonic scalar fields and differential forms admitting an interpretation in terms of intersecting p-branes is studied in (pseudo)-Riemannian space-time $M =R_+\times S^{d_0}\times R_t\times…
We perform a complete integration of the Einstein-dilaton-antisymmetric form action describing black p-branes in arbitrary dimensions assuming the transverse space to be homogeneous and possessing spherical, toroidal or hyperbolic topology.…
A master action for the bosonic p-brane, interpolating between the Nambu--Goto and Polyakov formalisms, is discussed. The fundamental arbitrariness of extended structures (p-brane) embeded in space time manifold has been exploited to build…
This expository paper describes sewing conditions in two-dimensional open/closed topological field theory. We include a description of the G-equivariant case, where G is a finite group. We determine the category of boundary conditions in…
The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the "brane") embedded in a 1+3+\textit{d}-dimensional spacetime (the "bulk"), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk. At least…
We extend the usual world-volume action for a Dp-brane to the case of N coincident Dp-branes where the world-volume theory involves a U(N) gauge theory. The guiding principle in our construction is that the action should be consistent with…
The various descent and duality relations among BPS and non-BPS D-branes are classified using topological K-theory. It is shown how the descent procedures for producing type-II D-branes from brane-antibrane bound states by tachyon…
A multidimensional field model describing the behaviour of (at most) one Einstein space of non-zero curvature and n Ricci-flat internal spaces is considered. The action contains several dilatonic scalar fields and antisymmetric forms. The…
Organoids are in vitro cellular collectives from which brain-like, or gut-like, or kidney-like structures emerge. To make quantitative predictions regarding the morphology and rheology of a cellular collective in its initial stages of…
The interaction between Chern-Simons (CS) theories and localized external sources (2p-branes) is analyzed. This interaction generalizes the minimal coupling between a point charge (0-brane) and a gauge connection. The external currents that…
In this article, we make a gauge theory from the Open p-brane system and map it into the Open 2-brane one. Due to the presence of second class constraints in this model, we encounter some problems during the procedure of quantization. In…
We study multiple 3-branes on an F theory orientifold. The world-volume theory of the 3-branes is d=4, N=2 Sp(2k) gauge theory with an antisymmetric tensor and four flavors of matter in the fundamental. The solution of this gauge theory is…
We study renormalization group flows among N=1 SCFTs realized on the worldvolume of D3-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau singularities, thus admitting a brane tiling description. The flows are triggered by masses for adjoint or vector-like…
