To our best knowledge, the leading non-perturbative stringy interaction between an NS brane and a Dp brane remains unknown. We here present the non-perturbative stringy amplitudes for a system of an F-string and a Dp brane and a system of…

We give a classification of all multiple intersections of D-branes in ten dimensions and M-branes in eleven dimensions that corresponds to threshold BPS bound states. The residual supersymmetry of these composite branes is determined. By…

In a previous paper [hep-th/0012251] we proposed a simple class of actions for string field theory around the tachyon vacuum. In this paper we search for classical solutions describing D-branes of different dimensions using the ansatz that…

The study of brane-antibrane configurations in string theory leads to the understanding of supersymmetric D$p$-branes as the bound states of higher dimensional branes. Configurations of pairs brane-antibrane do admit in a natural way their…

We present a general method for constructing supergravity solutions for intersecting branes. The solutions are written in terms of a single function, which is the solution to a nonlinear differential equation. We illustrate this procedure…

We find the probe D5-brane solution on the black home spacetime which is asymptomatically AdS_5 x S^5. These black holes have spherical, hyperbolic and toroidal structures. Depending on the gauge flux on the D5-brane, the D5-brane behaves…

Using the D3-brane as the fundamental tool, we adress two aspects of D-branes physics. The first regards the interaction between two electromagnetic dual D-branes in 10 dimensions. In particular, we give a meaning to {\it both} even and odd…

We present a construction employing a type IIA supergravity and 3-form flux background together with an NS5-brane that localises massless gravity near the 5-brane worldvolume. The nonsingular underlying type IIA solution is a lift to 10D of…

A factorization of spacetime of the form M^3xM^3xM^3 is considered in this paper as the closed string background in type IIA. The idea behind this construction is that each M^3 might give rise to one large spatial dimension of 4-dimensional…

We study supersymmetric embeddings of D-brane probes of different dimensionality in the AdS_5xL^{abc} background of type IIB string theory. In the case of D3-branes, we recover the known three-cycles dual to the dibaryonic operators of the…

We study intersecting D-branes in type 0 string theories and show that the D$p_{\pm}$-brane bound states obey similar intersecting rules as the D$p$-branes of the type II theories. The D$5_{\pm}$-D$1_{\pm}$ brane system is studied in…

We study D3-branes in an NS5-branes background defined by an arbitrary 4d harmonic function. Using a gauge-invariant formulation of Born-Infeld dynamics as well as the supersymmetry condition, we find the general solution for the…

We study dynamical partially localized brane solutions in higher dimensions. We give new descriptions of the relevant solutions of dynamical branes which are localized along both the overall and relative transverse directions. The starting…

This paper illustrates the derivation of the low-energy background field solutions of D2-branes and D4-branes intersecting at non-trivial angles by solving directly the bosonic equations of motion of II supergravity coupled to a dilaton and…

We discuss a Penrose limit of an elliptic brane configuration with $N_1$ NS5 and $N_2$ D4 branes. This background is T-dual to $N_1$ D3 branes at a fixed point of a $\mathbf{C}^3/\mathbf{Z}_{N_2}$ singularity and the T-duality survives the…

It is shown that many of the $p$-branes of type II string theory and $d=11$ supergravity can have boundaries on other $p$-branes. The rules for when this can and cannot occur are derived from charge conservation. For example it is found…

We present a non-supersymmetric deformation of probe branes describing conformal defects of codimension two in AdS/CFT. The worldvolume of the probe branes is deformed from $AdS_{p}\times S^1$ embedded in an $AdS_{p+2} \times \mathcal…

D-brane configurations containing fundamental strings are constructed as classical solutions of Yang-Mills theory. The fundamental strings in these systems stretch between D-branes. In the case of D1-branes, this construction gives smooth…

Departing from the observation that the Penrose limit of AdS_3 x S^3 is a group contraction in the sense of Inonu and Wigner, we explore the relation between the symmetric D-branes of AdS_3 x S^3 and those of its Penrose limit, a…

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…
