We consider rotating strings and D2-branes on type IIA background, which arises as dimensional reduction of M-theory on manifold of G2 holonomy, dual to N=1 gauge theory in four dimensions. We obtain exact solutions and explicit expressions…

We derive leading terms in the effective actions describing the coupling of bulk supergravity fields to systems of arbitrary numbers of Dp-branes and D(p+4)-branes in type IIA/IIB string theory. We use these actions to investigate the…

We present an improved effective action for the D-brane-anti-D-brane system obtained from boundary superstring field theory. Although the action looks highly non-trivial, it has simple explicit multi-vortex (i.e. codimension-2 multi-BPS…

We propose an action for non-relativistic M2-brane in eleven dimensional M-brane Newton-Cartan background. We find its Hamiltonian formulation and we focus on its dimensional reduction to ten dimensions that leads to non-relativistic…

We construct a two-dimensional crystal melting model which reproduces the BPS index of D2-D0 states bound to a non-compact D4-brane on an arbitrary toric Calabi-Yau singularity. The crystalline structure depends on the toric divisor wrapped…

We obtain the supergravity solution which describes a bound state of D-string/anti-D-string pairs attached to different fixed planes of an orbifold, in type IIB string theory compactified on T^4/Z_2. For parameters at which the conformal…

We construct tachyon lump solutions of bosonic D2-branes on SU(2) group manifolds by level truncation approximation in cubic string field theory, which are regarded as D0-branes. The energies for these solutions show good agreement with the…

We write down M2-branes on the resolved $C_4/Z_4$ orbifold space. The resolved spatial geometry is such that it interpolates between $R^2\times CP_3$ near the branes and $C_4/Z_4$ asymptotically. The near horizon geometry of these branes is…

In my talk I shall consider the mechanism of self-expansion of a system of N D0-branes into high-dimensional non-commutative world-volume investigated by Harmark and Savvidy. Here D2-brane is formed due to the internal angular momentum of…

We construct unstable classical solutions of Yang-Mills theories and their dual unstable states of type IIB on AdS_5. An example is the unstable D0-brane of type IIB located at the center of AdS. This has a field theory dual which is a…

We collect some arguments for treating a D-brane with overcritical electric field as a well-posed initial condition for a D-brane decay. Within the field theoretical toy model of Minahan and Zwiebach we give an estimate for the condensates…

Using the type II near-extremal 3D-branes solution we apply the T-duality and smeared twist to construct the supergravity backgrounds which dual to the 4D finite temperature non-commutative dipole field theories. We first consider the…

Following an eight-dimensional gauged supergravity approach we construct the most general solution describing D6-branes wrapped on a Kahler four-cycle taken to be the product of two spheres of different radii. Our solution interpolates…

We derive relations between type 0 and type II D-brane configurations under the T-duality suggested by Bergman and Gaberdiel and confirm that the massless fields on D-branes are identical to those on the dual D-brane configurations.…

We look at the vertical dimensional reduction of the supermembrane of M-theory to the D2-brane of Type IIA string theory. Our approach considers the soliton solutions of the two low energy field limits, D=11 and D=10 Type IIA…

We develop a general formalism for the construction, in $D$-dimensional Minkowski space, of gauge theories for which the gauge group is the infinite-dimensional group SDiff$_n$ of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of some closed…

We give the general solution for the elementary and solitonic D-brane configurations as a result of a reinterpretation of the already known p-branes. These solutions are found by means of a relevant conformal transformation on the string…

We show how a solitonic ``magnetically'' charged $p$-brane solution of a given supergravity theory, with the magnetic charge carried by an antisymmetric tensor gauge field, can be generalized to a dyonic solution. We discuss the cases of…

We provide a consistent reduction to five dimensions of the system of D3-branes at Calabi-Yau singularities coupled to D7-branes with world-volume gauge flux. The D3-branes source the dual to would-be conformal quiver theories. The…

We study the evolution of relic D3-branes after the D3/\bd-brane inflation in string warped compactification. The motion of D3-branes can be frozen under certain condition during the radiation/matter domination. These D3-branes can not be…
