We consider a brane moving close to a large number of coincident branes. We compare the calculation of the effective action using the gauge theory living on the brane and the calculation using the supergravity approximation. We discuss some…
We find the effective action for any D-brane in a general bosonic background of supergravity. The results are explicit in component fields up to second order in the fermions and are obtained in a covariant manner. No interaction terms…
Higher derivative terms are computed in the one-loop effective action governing the interactions of D3-branes, in two ways: (1) in a formalism with N=2 supersymmetry preserved off-shell, and (2) in the standard background field formalism,…
We calculate the one loop effective action for D-brane probes moving in the presence of near BPS D-branes. The $v^2$ term agrees with supergravity in all cases and the static force agrees for a five dimensional black hole with two large…
The aim of this article is to review some recent progress in the field of intersecting D-brane models. This includes the construction of chiral, semi-realistic flux compactifications, the systematic study of Gepner model orientifolds, the…
We review recent studies of branes in AdS x S and pp-wave spaces using effective action methods (probe branes and supergravity). We also summarise results on an algebraic study of D-branes in these spaces, using extensions of the…
We probe the effective worldvolume theory of a set of coinciding D-branes by switching on constant electro-magnetic fields on them. The comparison of the mass spectrum predicted by string theory with the mass spectrum obtained from the…
We investigate the correspondence between the D2-brane, which is described by the abelian Born-Infeld action, and multiple D0-branes, which are done by the nonabelian Born-Infeld action. We construct effective actions for the fuzzy…
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…
Recently, a new approach to large N gauge theories, based on a generalization of the concept of D-brane probes to any gauge field theory, was proposed. In the present note, we compute the probe action in the one matrix model with a quartic…
This is a review on brane effective actions, their symmetries and some of its applications. Its first part uncovers the Green-Schwarz formulation of single M- and D-brane effective actions focusing on kinematical aspects : the…
We calculate the potential between bound states of D-branes of different dimension in IIB matrix model upto one loop order and find nice agreement with the open string calculations in short and large distance limit. We also consider the…
It is known that weak coupling calculations of absorption or emission by slightly non-extremal D-brane configurations are in exact agreement with semiclassical results for the black holes they describe at strong couplings. We investigate…
In this paper we would like to show simple mechanisms how from the action for non-BPS D-brane we can obtain action describing BPS D(p-1)-brane in Type IIA theory.
We study the effective actions of various brane configurations in Matrix theory. Starting from the 0+1 dimensional quantum mechanics, we replace coordinate matrices by covariant derivatives in the large N limit, thereby obtaining effective…
Requiring the existence of certain BPS solutions to the equations of motion, we determine the bosonic part of the non-abelian D-brane effective action through order $\alpha'{}^4$. We also propose an economic organizational principle for the…
In this work we consider the full interacting effective actions for fundamental strings and D-branes in arbitrary bosonic type II supergravity backgrounds. The explicit form of these actions is given in terms of component fields, up to…
We review a method to find the non-abelian open superstring effective action, thereby settling the issue of the ordering ambiguities. We start from solutions to Yang-Mills which, in D-brane context, define certain BPS configurations.…
We propose a method to obtain a manifestly supersymmetric action functional for interacting brane systems. It is based on the induced map of the worldvolume of low-dimensional branes into the worldvolume of the space-time filling brane…
We show that the effective actions of D-brane and M-brane are solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equations in supergravities. This fact means that these effective actions are on-shell actions in supergravities. These solutions to the…
