We derive D-brane gauge theories for C^3/Z_n x Z_n orbifolds with discrete torsion and study the moduli space of a D-brane at a point. We show that, as suggested in previous work, closed string moduli do not fully resolve the singularity,…

We systematically study and obtain the large-volume analogues of fractional two-branes on resolutions of orbifolds C^3/Z_n. We study a generalisation of the McKay correspondence proposed in hep-th/0504164 called the quantum McKay…

We study the N=2 super Yang Mills theory living in the world volume of a bound state made of fractional D3/D7 branes at the orbifold R^{1,5}*R^4/ Z_2, by using the probe technique. We also discuss the boundary action for the system.

B-type D-branes are constructed on two different K3-fibrations over IP_1 using boundary conformal field theory at the rational Gepner points of these models. The microscopic CFT charges are compared with the Ramond charges of D-branes…

We quantize the set of all quarter BPS brane probe solutions in global AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4/K3 found in arxiv:0709.1168 [hep-th]. We show that, generically, these solutions give rise to states in discrete representations of the…

We use the boundary state formalism to study the interaction of two moving identical D-branes in the Type II superstring theory compactified on orbifolds. By computing the velocity dependence of the amplitude in the limit of large…

We construct non-extremal fractional D-brane solutions of type-II string theory at the Z_2 orbifold point of K3. These solutions generalize known extremal fractional-brane solutions and provide further insights into N=2 supersymmetric gauge…

We study fractional D-branes in the Type-IIA theory on a non-compact orientifold of the orbifold C^3/Z_3 in the boundary state formalism. We find that the fractional D0-branes of the orbifold theory become unstable due to the presence of a…

Compactifications of type IIB string theory on AdS5 x X5, where X5 is an Einstein space, can have one-fourth or half maximal supersymmetry for certain choices of X5. Some of these theories admit exotic domain walls arising from 5-branes…

We discuss a prescription to construct fractional branes in Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds, with particular attention to the case of non-abelian orbifolds. We analyze in detail a S_3 orbifold and a D_n orbifold and show how the computation of…

In the first part of this article, we find fractional D3-branes supergravity solutions on orientifolded C^2/Z_2 orbifolds of type IIB string theory. The one-loop corrected gauge couplings for the symplectic or orthogonal groups living on…

In this note we discuss D-branes on T^4/Z_2 using the boundary states formalism. Explicit formulas for the untwisted boundary states inherited from the underlying T^4 and twisted states corresponding to branes wrapping collapsed 2-cycles at…

The consistency of the orbifold action on open strings between D-branes in orbifold theories with and without discrete torsion is analysed carefully. For the example of the C^3/Z_2 x Z_2 theory, it is found that the consistency of the…

We study D-branes extended in T^2/Z_4 using the mirror description as a tensor product of minimal models. We describe branes in the mirror both as boundary states in minimal models and as matrix factorizations in the corresponding…

We describe how the D-brane spectra of the various ten-dimensional string theories can be related to general properties of the open-closed duality, encoded in the $S$ and $P$ matrices of the conformal field theory. We also complete the…

D-branes on orbifolds with and without discrete torsion are analysed in a unified way using the boundary state formalism. For the example of the Z2 x Z2 orbifold it is found that both the theory with and without discrete torsion possess…

We study the D-brane spectrum on a two-parameter Calabi-Yau model. The analysis is based on different tools in distinct regions of the moduli space: wrapped brane configurations on elliptic fibrations near the large radius limit, and SCFT…

We study some wrapped configurations of branes in the near-horizon geometry of a stack of other branes. The common feature of all the cases analyzed is a quantization rule and the appearance of a finite number of static configurations in…

We consider D-branes on an orbifold $C^3/Z_n$ and investigate the moduli space of the D-brane world-volume gauge theory by using toric geometry and gauged linear sigma models. For $n=11$, we find that there are five phases, which are…
