We consider the problem of the interaction between D0-brane bound state and 1-form RR photons by the world-line theory. Based on the fact that in the world-line theory the RR gauge fields depend on the matrix coordinates of D0-branes, the…
We study {\cal N}=2 SO(2N+1) SYM theory in the context of matrix model. By adding a superpotential of the scalar multiplet, W(\Phi), of degree 2N+2, we reduce the theory to {\cal N}=1. The 2N+1 distinct critical points of W(\Phi) allow us…
We analyze the spectrum of open strings stretched between a D-brane and an anti-D-brane in planar AdS/CFT using various tools. We focus on open strings ending on two giant gravitons with different orientation in $AdS_5 \times S^5$ and study…
We propose a formula for the effective action of Matrix Theory which succesfully reproduces a large class of Born-Infeld type D-brane probe actions. The formula is motivated by demanding consistency with known results, and is tested by…
On the basis of the Berkovits pure spinor formalism of covariant quantization of supermembrane, we attempt to construct a M(atrix) theory which is covariant under $SO(1,10)$ Lorentz group. We first construct a bosonic M(atrix) theory by…
We investigate the thermodynamic properties of D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs and non-BPS D-branes on the basis of boundary string field theory. We calculate the finite temperature effective potential of N D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs in a…
We study a family of interacting bosonic representations of the N=2 superconformal algebra. These models can be tensored with a conjugate theory to give the free theory. We explain how to use free fields to study interacting fields and…
A class of matrix models which arises as partition function in U(N) Chern-Simons matter theories on three sphere is investigated. Employing the standard technique of the 1/N expansion we solve the system beyond the planar limit. In…
We study a bosonic string with one end free and the other confined to a D-brane. Only the odd oscillator modes are allowed, which leads to a Virasoro algebra of even Virasoro modes only. The theory is quantized in a gauge where world-sheet…
We show that a system of bosons in a T=0 quantum field theory can present metastable ground states with spontaneous symmetry breaking, even in the absence of an imaginary mass term. This gives a natural explanation to the Davis-Shellard…
We study a model of strongly correlated fermions in one dimension with extended N=2 supersymmetry. The model is related to the spin $S=1/2$ XXZ Heisenberg chain at anisotropy $\Delta=-1/2$ with a real magnetic field on the boundary. We…
An extended bosonic coherent basis has been shown by Chen to provide numerically exact solutions of the finite-size Dicke model. The advantages in employing this basis, as compared with the photon number (Fock) basis, are exhibited to be…
We study scatterings of bosonic massive closed string states at arbitrary mass levels from D-brane. We discover that all the scattering amplitudes can be expressed in terms of the generalized hypergeometric function with special arguments,…
A class of background independent membrane field theories are studied, and several properties are discovered which suggest that they may play a role in a background independent form of M theory. The bulk kinematics of these theories are…
A natural extension of the Dijkgraaf-Vafa proposal is to include fields in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. In this paper we use field theory techniques to analyze gauge theories whose tree level superpotential is a…
We consider a simple model describing a closed bosonic string in a constant magnetic field. Exact conformal invariance demands also the presence of a non-trivial metric and antisymmetric tensor (induced by the magnetic field). The model is…
We propose a Lorentz covariant matrix model as a nonperturbative formulation of the bosonic M2-brane in M-theory. Unlike previous approaches relying on the light-cone gauge or symmetry-based constructions, our model retains full…
We construct Matrix Membrane theory in pp wave backgrounds that have a null linear dilaton in Type IIB string theory. Such backgrounds can serve as toy models of big bang cosmologies. At late times only abelian degrees of freedom survive,…
Using the Ernst potential formulation we construct all it finite symmetry transformations which preserve asymptotics of the bosonic fields of the (d+3)--dimensional low--energy heterotic string theory compactified on a d--torus. We combine…
We discuss the open string one-loop partition function in tachyon condensation background of a unstable D-brane system. We evaluate the partition function by using the boundary state formulation and find that it is in complete agreement…
