We construct boundary states for the AdS_2 D-branes in AdS_3. We show that, in the semi-classical limit, the boundary states correctly reproduce geometric configurations of these branes. We use the boundary states to compute the one loop…

We construct boundary states representing D-strings in $AdS_3$. These wrap twisted conjugacy classes of SL(2,R), and the boundary states are therefore based on continuous representations only. We check Cardy's condition and find a…

We study D-branes that preserve a diagonal SL(2) affine Lie algebra in string theory on AdS_3. We find three classes of solutions, corresponding to the following representations of SL(2): (1) degenerate, finite dimensional representations…

We study D-branes in the Lorentzian AdS_3 background from the viewpoint of boundary states, emphasizing the role of open-closed duality in string theory. Employing the world sheet with Lorentzian signature, we construct the Cardy states…

We analyse the possible D-brane configurations in an AdS_3xS^3xS^3xS^1 background with a NS-NS B field, by using the boundary state formalism. We study their geometry and we determine the fraction of spacetime supersymmetry preserved by…

In this work we propose an exact microscopic description of maximally symmetric branes in a Euclidean $AdS_3$ background. As shown by Bachas and Petropoulos, the most important such branes are localized along a Euclidean $AdS_2 \subset…

We study the possible D-brane configurations in an AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4 background with a NS-NS B field. We use its WZW model description and the boundary state formalism, and we analyze the bosonic and the N=1 supersymmetric cases separately.…

We examine D-branes on $AdS_3$, and find a three-brane wrapping the entire $AdS_3$, in addition to 1-branes and instantonic 2-branes previously discussed in the literature. The three-brane is found using a construction of Maldacena, Moore,…

We present some preliminary investigations about the AdS2*S2 D3-branes in AdS3*S3. We analyse the quadratic fluctuations of Dirac-Born-Infeld action around a given semi-classical D-brane configuration and compare them with results obtained…

I review some recent progress in understanding the properties of AdS2 branes in AdS3. Different methods - classical string motion, Born-Infeld dynamics, boundary states - are evocated and compared.

We present a detailed study of D-branes in the axially gauged SL(2,R)/U(1) coset conformal field theory for integer level k. Our analysis is based on the modular bootstrap approach and utilizes the extended SL(2,R)/U(1) characters and the…

This thesis is devoted to the construction and study of D-branes in some curved space-times in string theory. On the one hand, those D-branes are described geometrically as submanifolds subject to Born-Infeld effective dynamics. On the…

We comment on the D-brane solutions for the boundary H3+ model that have been proposed so far and point out that many more types of D-branes should be considered possible. We start a systematic derivation of the 1/2- and b^{-2}/2-shift…

We investigate the properties of the AdS D1-branes which are the bound states of a curved D1-brane with $n$ fundamental strings (F1) in the $AdS_3$ spacetime, and the AdS D2-branes which are the axially symmetric bound states of a curved…

In this thesis we discuss some nonperturbative and noncommutative aspects of string theory. We present low-energy background field solutions corresponding to various D-branes (and their bound states) and intersecting branes in flat and…

We show the existence of classical solutions of a system of D3-branes oriented at an arbitrary angle with respect to each other, in a six dimensional pp-wave background obtained from AdS_3\times S^3\times R^4, with NS-NS and R-R 3-form…

The boundary states for AdS_2 D-branes in Lorentzian AdS_3 space-time are presented. AdS_2 D-branes are algebraically defined by twisted Dirichlet boundary conditions and are located on twisted conjugacy classes of SL(2,R). Using free field…

We construct supersymmetric D-brane probe solutions in the background of the 2-charge D1-D5 system on M, where M is either K3 or T^4. We focus on `near-horizon bound states' that preserve supersymmetries of the near-horizon AdS_3 x S^3 x M…

We study the exact construction of D-branes in Lorentzian AdS(3). We start by defining a family of conformal field theories that gives a natural Euclidean version of the SL(2,R) CFT and does not correspond to H(3)+, the analytic…

String theory on $\text{AdS}_3\times \text{S}^3\times \mathbb{T}^4$ with minimal $k=1$ NS-NS flux can be described in terms of a free field worldsheet theory in the hybrid formalism. We construct various D-branes of this string theory and…
