We describe a class of exact solutions of super Yang-Mills theory on even-dimensional noncommutative tori. These solutions generalize the solitons on a noncommutative plane introduced in hep-th/0009142 that are conjectured to describe…

We study recombinations of D-brane systems intersecting at more than one angle using super Yang-Mills theory. We find the condensation of an off-diagonal tachyon mode relates to the recombination, as was clarified for branes at one angle in…

D0-branes on a D2-brane with a constant background B-field are unstable due to the presence of a tachyonic mode and expected to dissolve into the D2-brane to formulate a constant D0-charge density. In this paper we study such a dissolution…

We study Myers world-volume effective action of coincident D-branes. We investigate a system of N_0 D0-branes in the geometry of Dp-branes with p=2 or p=4. The choice of coordinates can make the action simplified and tractable. For p=4, we…

We consider a Dp brane within a D9 brane in the presence of a B-field whose polarization is {\em transverse} to the Dp brane. To be definite, we take a D3-D9 system. It is observed that the system has the same pattern of supersymmetry…

We study self-dual instantons of topological charge $Q=r/N$, for any natural $r$, in $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on a four torus with 't Hooft twists, by embedding them into worldvolume theories of $D$-branes. To study their moduli, we…

This article discusses model-building scenarios including anti-D3-/D7-branes, in which supersymmetry is broken spontaneously, despite having no scale at which sparticles appear and standard supersymmetry is restored. If the branes are…

We consider in more detail the role of D0-branes as instantons in the construction of SU(N) Super Yang-Mills and Super QCD theories in four space-time dimensions with D4, D6 and NS-branes. In particular, we show how the D0-branes describe…

We analyse the velocity-dependent potentials seen by D0 and D4-brane probes moving in Type I' background for head-on scattering off the fixed planes. We find that at short distances (compared to string length) the D0-brane probe has a…

We discuss the role of D0-branes as instantons in the construction of SU(N) Super Yang-Mills and Super QCD theories in four space-time dimensions with D4-, D6- and NS-branes. [To appear in the proceedings of the conference "Quantum Aspects…

We review and extend recent work on the application of the non-commutative geometric framework to an interpretation of the moduli space of vacua of certain deformations of N=4 super Yang-Mills theories. We present a simple worldsheet…

We study the classification of D-branes in all compact Lie groups including non-simply-laced ones. We also discuss the global structure of the quantum moduli space of the D-branes. D-branes are classified according to their positions in the…

As an extension to our previous work, we study the transport properties of the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model in the black D4-brane background with smeared D0-branes (D0-D4/D8 system). Because of the presence of the D0-branes, in the bubble…

We explore the low energy dynamics of charge two instantons and dyonic instantons in SU(2) 5-dimensional Yang-Mills. We make use of the moduli space approximation and first calculate the moduli space metric for two instantons. For dyonic…

We study the effective actions of various brane configurations in Matrix theory. Starting from the 0+1 dimensional quantum mechanics, we replace coordinate matrices by covariant derivatives in the large N limit, thereby obtaining effective…

We consider a system of D0-branes in toroidally compactified space with interactions described by a Born-Infeld-type generalisation of the leading v^2 + v^4/r^{D-4} terms (D is the number of non-compact directions in M-theory, including the…

We argue that the moduli space for the Bagger-Lambert A_4 theory at level k is (R^8 \times R^8)/D_{2k}, where D_{2k} is the dihedral group of order 4k. We conjecture that the theory describes two M2-branes on a Z_{2k} ``M-fold'', in which a…

We calculate one-loop scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory away from the origin of the moduli space and demonstrate that the results are extremely simple, in much the same way as in the conformally invariant theory.…

We develop superembedding approach to multiple D-particle (D0-brane) system. In flat target D=10 type IIA superspace this produces the supersymmetric and Lorentz covariant version of the Matrix model equations. The equations following from…

We study D2-branes on the K3-fibration P^4_(11222)[8] using matrix factorizations at the Landau-Ginzburg point and analyze their moduli space and superpotentials in detail. We find that the open string moduli space consists of various…
