It is conjectured that the world-volume action of a probe D3-brane in an $AdS_5 \times S^5$ background of type IIB superstring theory, with one unit of flux, can be reinterpreted as the exact effective action (or highly effective action)…
Extending the analysis of hep-th/0504128, we obtain a formal expression for the coupling between brane matter and the radion in a Randall-Sundrum braneworld. This effective theory is correct to all orders in derivatives of the radion in the…
We explore the conformal 5D braneworld, where warping emerges through conformal symmetry breaking. Our scenario seamlessly aligns with conventional brane approaches if conformal symmetry remains unbroken. It is shown that a model with a…
The nondeterminantal forms of the Born-Infeld and related brane actions in which the gauge fields couple to both an induced metric and an intrinsic metric are generalised by letting either or both metrics be dynamical. The resulting actions…

T-duality realized on D-brane effective actions is studied from a pure worldvolume point of view. It is proved that invariance in the form of the Dirac-Born-Infeld and Wess-Zumino terms fixes the T-duality transformations of the NS-NS and…

We present a non-compact (4 + 1) dimensional model with a local strong four-fermion interaction supplementing it with gravity. In the strong coupling regime it reveals the spontaneous translational symmetry breaking which eventually leads…

Aspects of parity-preserving, three-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) with a global $U(1)$ symmetry in the presence of a background magnetic field are investigated. A local effective action is constructed to four-derivative order,…
We construct braneworld effective action in two brane Randall-Sundrum model and show that the radion mode plays the role of a scalar field localizing essentially nonlocal part of this action. Non-minimal curvature coupling of this field…
