We study "fuzzy funnel" solutions to the non-Abelian equations of motion of the D-string. Our funnel describes n^6/360 coincident D-strings ending on n^3/6 D7-branes, in terms of a fuzzy six-sphere which expands along the string. We also…
We present a supersymmetric version of Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) theory in noncommutative space-time, both for Abelian and non-Abelian gauge groups. We show, using the superfield formalism, that the definition of a certain ordering with…
We discuss some aspects of the generalization of the Born-Infeld action to non-abelian gauge groups and show how the discrepancy between Tseytlin's symmetrized trace proposal and string theory can be corrected at order $F^6$. We also…
We use tachyon field theory effective action to study the dynamics of a non-BPS Dp-brane propagating in the vicinity of k NS5-branes. For the time dependent tachyon condensation we will concentrate on the case of the large tachyon and the…
It has long been appreciated that superalgebras with bosonic and fermionic generators additional to those in the super-Poincare algebra underlie p-brane and D-brane actions in superstring theory. These algebras have been revealed via…
In this paper we extend the boundary string field theory action for a non-BPS D-brane to the one including the target space fermions and the nonlinear supersymmetry with 32 supercharges up to some order. This is based on the idea that the…
We study several different kinds of bound states built from D-branes and orientifolds. These states are to atoms what branonium - the bound state of a brane and its anti-brane - is to positronium, inasmuch as they typically involve a light…
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…
It is well known that, due to vanishing theorems, there are no nontrivial finite action solutions to the Abelian Seiberg-Witten (SW) monopole equations on Euclidean four-dimensional space R^4. We show that this is no longer true for the…
We review and elaborate on some aspects of Born-Infeld action and its supersymmetric generalizations in connection with string theory. Contents: BI action from string theory; some properties of bosonic D=4 BI action; N=1 and N=2…
We derive a BPS-type bound for four-dimensional Born-Infeld action with constant B field background. The supersymmetric configuration saturates this bound and is regarded as an analog of instanton in U(1) gauge theory. Furthermore, we find…
In this paper we study the non-maximally symmetric D-branes on the SU(2) group discussed in a previous article (hep-th/0205097). Using the two-form defined in hep-th/0205097 the DBI action on the branes is constructed. This action is…
We consider the D7/D(--1) system in Type I' as a prototypical "exotic" brane instanton. With respect to systems such as the D3/D(-1) ones, which correspond to gauge instantons in four dimensions, exotic systems lack the bosonic mixed moduli…
We consider the non-linear realizations of the Poincare group for p-branes with local subgroup SO(1,p)*SO(D-(p+1)). The Nambu-Goto p-brane action is constructed using the Maurer Cartan forms of the unbroken translations. We perform a…
Based on a four point function, the S-matrix elements at disk level of the scattering amplitude of one closed string Ramond-Ramond field ($C$), two tachyons and one scalar field, we find out new couplings in brane anti brane effective…
We describe, on a few instructive examples, a systematic way of deducing the superfield equations of motion of superbranes in the approach of partial breaking of global supersymmetry (PBGS) from the nonlinear-realizations formalism. For…
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 give a confirmation of U-duality of type II superstring by discussing mass spectrum of the BPS states. We first evaluate the mass spectrum of BPS solitons with one kind of R-R charges. Our analysis is based on the 1-loop effective action…
We explore noncommutative D-branes in the AdS_5xS^5 background from the viewpoint of \kappa-invariance of a covariant open string action in the Green-Schwarz formulation. Boundary conditions to ensure the \kappa-invariance of the action…
We construct non-relativistic non-BPS Dp-brane action. Then we will study the properties of the tachyon kink solution on its world-volume. We will argue that this tachyon kink describes non-relativistic D(p-1)-brane.
