The recently found non-critical open string theories is reviewed. These open strings, noncommutative open string theories (NCOS), arise as consistent quantum theories describing the low energy theory of D-branes in a background electric…
We study decoupling limits and S-dualities for noncommutative open string/ Yang-Mills theory in a gravity setup by considering an $SL(2,Z)$ invariant supergravity solution of the form ((F, D1), D3) bound state of type IIB string theory.…

In this paper we study the interplay of electric and magnetic backgrounds in determining the decoupling limit of coincident D-branes towards a noncommutative Yang-Mills (NCYM) or open string (NCOS) theory. No decoupling limit has been found…
We conjecture the existence of two new non-gravitational six-dimensional string theories, defined as the decoupling limit of NS5-branes in the background of near-critical electrical two- and three-form RR fields. These theories are…
We investigate new compactifications of OM theory giving rise to a 3+1 dimensional open string theory with noncommutative $x^0$-$x^1$ and $x^2$-$x^3$ coordinates. The theory can be directly obtained by starting with a D3 brane with parallel…
We investigate how the four-dimensional noncommutative open string/Yang-Mills theory behaves under a general non-perturbative quantum $SL(2,Z)$ symmetry transformation. We discuss this by considering D3 branes in a constant background of…
We examine magnetic and electric near horizon regions of maximally supersymmetric D-brane and NS5-brane bound states and find transformations between near horizon regions with worldvolume dual magnetic and electric fluxes. These point to…
Recently,in a paper hep-th/0511197, it was found that non-commutative super Yang-Mills (NCSYM) theory with space-dependent noncommutativity can be formulated as a decoupling limit of open strings ending on D3-branes wrapping a Melvin…
In this paper we perform some non-trivial tests for the recently obtained open membrane/D-brane metrics and `generalized' noncommutativity parameters using Dp/NS5/M5-branes which have been deformed by light-like fields. The results obtained…
It is well-known that ($N$, $M$) 5-branes of type IIB supergravity form a non-threshold bound state with ($N'$, $M'$) strings called the (F, D1, NS5, D5) bound state where the strings lie along one of the spatial directions of the 5-branes…
We study D=3 field theories on the D3-branes stretched between two NS5-branes with NS B-field background. The theory is a noncommutative gauge theory. The mirror symmetry and S-duality of the theory are discussed. A new feature is that the…
We examine noncommutative Yang-Mills and open string theories using magnetically and electrically deformed supergravity duals. The duals are near horizon regions of Dp-brane bound state solutions which are obtained by using O(p+1,p+1)…
In the fruitful interplay between gauge fields and strings and in many conjectured M-theory dualities, open strings play a prominent role. We review the construction of open-string descendants (un-orientifolds) of closed-string theories…

We consider electric-magnetic duality(S-duality) in IIB matrix model with a D3-brane background. We propose the duality transformation by considering that of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory(NCYM) in four dimension. NCYM derived from the…
In this paper we consider the quantization of open strings ending on D-branes with a background B field. We find that spacetime coordinates of the open string end-points become noncommutative, and correspondingly the D-brane worldvolume…
We discuss the properties of the bound state (F1, D1, D3) in IIB supergravity in three different scaling limits and the $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ transformation of the resulting theories. In the simple decoupling limit with finite electric and…
We study the world volume theory of D3-branes wrapping the Melvin universe supported by background NSNS B-field. In the appropriate decoupling limit, the open string dynamics is that of non-commutative guage field theory with non-constant…
We consider open strings ending on D-branes in the presence of constant metric, G, antisymmetric tensor, B and gauge field, A. The Hamiltonian is manifestly invariant under a global noncompact group; strikingly similar to toroidally…
