We consider free-field realization of Gepner models basing on free-field realization of N=2 superconformal minimal models. Using this realization we analyse A/B-type boundary conditions starting from the ansatz when left-moving and…
This is a review article of my recent papers on free field construction of D-branes in N = 2 superconformal minimal models and Gepner models.
A large class of D-branes in Calabi-Yau spaces can be constructed at the Gepner points using the techniques of boundary conformal field theory. In this note we develop methods that allow to compute open string amplitudes for such D-branes.…
We discuss D-branes from a conformal field theory point of view. In this approach, branes are described by boundary states providing sources for closed string modes, independently of classical notions. The boundary states must satisfy…
We propose a new prescription of how to represent D-branes in Gepner models in more general homology classes than those in the previous constructions. The central role is played by a certain projection acting on the Recknagel-Schomerus…
We argue that D-branes corresponding to rational B boundary states in a Gepner model can be understood as fractional branes in the Landau-Ginzburg orbifold phase of the linear sigma model description. Combining this idea with the…
Boundary states corresponding to wrapped D-branes in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type II strings are discussed using Gepner models. In particular boundary conditions corresponding to D-0 branes and D-instantons in four dimensions are…
We study the D-brane spectrum of N=2 string orbifold theories using the boundary state formalism. The construction is carried out for orbifolds with isolated singularities, non-isolated singularities and orbifolds with discrete torsion. Our…
We formulate and study a class of massive N=2 supersymmetric gauge field theories coupled to boundary degrees of freedom on the strip. For some values of the parameters, the infrared limits of these theories can be interpreted as open…
We consider D-branes wrapped around supersymmetric cycles of Calabi-Yau manifolds from the viewpoint of N=2 Landau-Ginzburg models with boundary as well as by consideration of boundary states in the corresponding Gepner models. The…
The open string spectra of the B-type D-branes of the N=2 E-models are calculated. Using these results we match the boundary states to the matrix factorisations of the corresponding Landau-Ginzburg models. The identification allows us to…
We study branes and open strings in a large class of orbifolds of a curved background using microscopic techniques of boundary conformal field theory. In particular, we obtain factorizing operator product expansions of open string vertex…
We study the D-brane spectrum on a two-parameter Calabi-Yau model. The analysis is based on different tools in distinct regions of the moduli space: wrapped brane configurations on elliptic fibrations near the large radius limit, and SCFT…
We present exact expressions for elementary boundary states which describe D-branes preserving 16 or fewer supercharges in type II superstring compactified on certain self-dual 4-tori. While being manifestly superconformal, our boundary…
In this thesis we discuss some nonperturbative and noncommutative aspects of string theory. We present low-energy background field solutions corresponding to various D-branes (and their bound states) and intersecting branes in flat and…
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…
In this article, applying different types of boundary conditions; Dirichlet, Neumann, or Mixed, on open strings we realize various new brane bound states in string theory. Calculating their interactions with other D-branes, we find their…
We study D-branes in topologically twisted N=2 minimal models using the Landau-Ginzburg realization. In the cases of A and D-type minimal models we provide what we believe is an exhaustive list of topological branes and compute the…
We construct fractional branes in Landau-Ginzburg orbifold categories and study their behavior under marginal closed string perturbations. This approach is shown to be more general than the rational boundary state construction. In…
We explore a particular approach to study D-brane boundary states in Berkovits' pure spinor formalism of superstring theories. In this approach one constructs the boundary states in the relevant conformal field theory by relaxing the pure…
