We show that a non-trivial dilaton condensation alters the dimensions of orientifold planes. An off-shell crosscap state which naturally interpolates between the usual on-shell crosscap states and their T-duals plays an important role in…

It is argued that the T-dual of a crosscap is a combination of an O+ and an O- orientifold plane. Various theories with crosscaps and D-branes are interpreted as gauge-theories on tori obeying twisted boundary conditions. Their duals live…

We review and develop the construction of crosscap states associated with parity symmetries in rational conformal field theories. A general method to construct crosscap states in abelian orbifold models is presented. It is then applied to…

We find some lifts to M theory of orientifold and orbifold planes including the O1, O3 and O5 planes of Type IIB and their transformations under SL(2,Z). The possible discrete torsion variants (or K theory classes) are explored, and are…

We review orientifold constructions in the presence of magnetic backgrounds both in the open and closed sectors. Generically, the resulting orientifold models have a nice geometric description in terms of rotated D-branes and/or O-planes.…

In this paper we give an overview of some recent and older results concerning free boundary problems governed by elliptic operators.

We examine the application of boundary states in computing amplitudes in off-shell open string theory. We find a straightforward generalization of boundary state which produces the correct matrix elements with on-shell closed string states.

We analyze unoriented Wess-Zumino-Witten models from a geometrical point of view. We show that the geometric interpretation of simple current crosscap states is as centre orientifold planes localized on conjugacy classes of the group…

Boundary states for D-branes at orbifold fixed points are constructed in close analogy with Cardy's derivation of consistent boundary states in RCFT. Comments are made on the interpretation of the various coefficients in the explicit…

We construct boundary state and crosscap state in D=4,N=1 type-IIB Z_N orientifold and investigate properties of amplitude. We find that the boundary state of a cylinder is different from the boundary state of a M\"{o}bius strip. Using…

Some aspects of analysis on disconnected open subsets of the plane with connected fractal boundary are discussed.

Various ideas associated with exotic hadrons, and hadronic structure in general, are briefly reviewed.

In this note we briefly review some recent results of the authors on the topological and geometrical properties of 3-cosymplectic manifolds.

We study the boundary states for the rational points in the moduli spaces of c=1 conformal and c=3/2 superconformal field theories, including the isolated Ginsparg points. We use the orbifold and simple-current techniques to relate the…

This mini-review provides a perspective on recent progress and emerging directions aimed at utilizing and controlling in-plane optical polarization, highlighting key application spaces where in-plane near-field tip responses have enabled…

We examine some six-dimensional orientifold models with $N = 1$ supersymmetry, which can be realised as intersecting 7-branes and 7-planes. These models are studied in the light of recent work showing that orientifold planes carry anomalous…

We construct a new class of multipartite states possessing orthogonal symmetry. This new class defines a convex hull of multipartite states which are invariant under the action of local unitary operations introduced in our previous paper…

In the past decade, more and more charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike states have been reported in experiments, which have led us to extensive discussions on the underlying structure of these states. In this review paper, we briefly…

We study the integrable crosscap states of the integrable quantum spin chains and we classify them for the $\mathfrak{gl}(N)$ symmetric models. We also give a derivation for the exact overlaps between the integrable crosscap states and the…

We use the boundary state formalism to study the interaction of two moving identical D-branes in the Type II superstring theory compactified on orbifolds. By computing the velocity dependence of the amplitude in the limit of large…
