We elucidate the structure of D terms in N=1 orientifold compactifications with fluxes. As a case study, we consider a simple orbifold of the type-IIA theory with D6-branes at angles, O6-planes and general NSNS, RR and Scherk-Schwarz…
Metastable supersymmetry breaking configurations of D-branes and NS5-branes in string theory often owe their existence to classical gravitational interactions between the branes. We show that in the effective theory of the light fields,…

We study worldvolume actions for D-branes coupled to the worldvolume U(1) gauge field and Ramond-Ramond (RR) potentials in nonrelativistic string theory. This theory is a self-contained corner of relativistic string theory and has a string…
Spectral subspaces of a linear dynamical system identify a large class of invariant structures that highlight/isolate the dynamics associated to select subsets of the spectrum. The corresponding notion for nonlinear systems is that of…
The open string tachyon and U(1) gauge field as longitudinal fluctuations and the velocity as transverse fluctuation of an arbitrary dimensional D-brane are considered as boundary deformations of a closed superstring free action. The path…
The long-wavelength effective field theory of world-volume fluctuations of black D3-branes is shown to be a hydrodynamical system to leading order in a gradient expansion. We study the system on a fiducial `cutoff' surface: the fluctuating…

A nonlinear two-fluid stochastic hydrodynamical description of velocity and concentration fluctuations in sedimenting suspensions is constructed, and analyzed using self-consistent (SC) and renormalization group (RG) methods. The advection…
Various fluid mechanical systems, governed by nonlinear differential equations, enjoy a hidden, higher-dimensional dynamical Poincar\'e symmetry, which arises owing to their descent from a Nambu-Goto action. Also, for the same reason, there…
We study well-posedness and asymptotic dynamics of a coupled system consisting of linearized 3D Navier--Stokes equations in a bounded domain and a classical (nonlinear) full von Karman shallow shell equations that accounts for both…
A recently proposed \ell=\infty field theory model of tachyon dynamics for unstable bosonic D-branes has been shown to arise as the two-derivative truncation of (boundary)-string field theory. Using an \ell\to \infty limit appropriate to…
The random forced Navier-Stokes equation can be obtained as a variational problem of a proper action. In virtue of incompressibility, the integration over transverse components of the fields allows to cast the action in the form of a large…
We study the two dimensional (2D) stochastic Navier Stokes (SNS) equations in the inertial limit of weak forcing and dissipation. The stationary measure is concentrated close to steady solutions of the 2D Euler equation. For such inertial…
We re-examine the recent proposal of Rastelli, Sen and Zwiebach on the tachyon fluctuation of the vacuum string field theory representing a D25 brane, originally considered by Hata and Kawano. We show that the tachyon state satisfies the…
In the present work, we investigate a numerical one-dimensional solver to the Navier-Stokes equation that retains all terms, including both pressure and dissipation. Solutions to simple examples that illustrate the actions of the nonlinear…
S(pacelike)D-branes are objects arising naturally in string theory when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on the time direction. SD-brane physics is inherently time-dependent. Previous investigations of gravity fields of SD-branes…
The problem of the interplay between normal and anomalous scaling in turbulent systems stirred by a random forcing with a power law spectrum is addressed. We consider both linear and nonlinear systems. As for the linear case, we study…
We suggest a new, renormalization group (RG) based, nonperturbative method for treating the intermittency problem of fully developed turbulence which also includes the effects of a finite boundary of the turbulent flow. The key idea is not…
A couple of issues concerning the effective dynamics of D-branes in string theory are discussed. Primarily, I am concerned with linearization of the actions by introduction of non-propagating fields and a full super- and kappa-symmetric…
