This thesis is devoted to the construction and study of D-branes in some curved space-times in string theory. On the one hand, those D-branes are described geometrically as submanifolds subject to Born-Infeld effective dynamics. On the…
We consider probe p-branes dynamics in string theory backgrounds of general type. We use an action, which interpolates between Nambu-Goto and Polyakov type actions. This allows us to give a unified description for the tensile and…
We study dynamics of a D3-brane propagating in the vicinity of k coincident NS5 branes. We show that when $g_s$ is small, there exists a regime in which dynamics of the D-brane is governed by Dirac-Born-Infeld action while higher order…
This paper is devoted to the study of the Hamiltonian dynamics of string in non-relativistic D3-brane background. We discuss different gauge fixing functions and construct corresponding gauge fixed Hamiltonians.
We construct supersymmetric brane solutions in string and M-theory with moduli parameters that depend arbitrarily on the light-cone time. Our investigation aims in understanding time dependent phenomena in gauge theories at strong coupling…
We derive two classes of brane-world solutions arising in the presence of a bulk scalar field. For static field configurations, we adopt a time-dependent, factorizable metric ansatz that allows for radion stabilization. The solutions are…
We give the general solution for the elementary and solitonic D-brane configurations as a result of a reinterpretation of the already known p-branes. These solutions are found by means of a relevant conformal transformation on the string…
We discover that a class of bubbles of nothing are embedded as time dependent scaling limits of previous spacelike-brane solutions. With the right initial conditions, a near-bubble solution can relax its expansion and open the compact…
We construct wormhole-like solutions in the type IIA string theory. These solutions represent wormholes in four-dimensions and are given by the D2 branes within appropraited backgrounds fields. We present the conditions on these fields…
I investigate models with scalar fields in 5 dimensions that exhibit thick-brane configurations with a non-trivial metric. I show that an appropriate coupling to the scalar curvature allows for periodic configurations, which, however, are…
We consider brane cosmologies within the context of five-dimensional actions with O(a') higher curvature corrections. The actions are compatible with bulk string amplitude calculations from heterotic string theory. We find wrapped solutions…
We show how T-duality can be implemented with brane cosmology. As a result, we obtain a smooth bouncing cosmology with features similar to the ones of the pre-Big Bang scenario. Also, by allowing T-duality transformations along the…
We use the compatibility of D-brane action with linear off-shell T-duality and linear on-shell S-duality as guiding principles to find all world volume couplings of one massless closed and three massless open strings at order $\alpha'^2$ in…
We present a generalization of the string's Polyakov action that describes a conformally invariant four dimensional brane. The new extended object is very different from the traditional D-branes of string theory, but, nevertheless, shares…
Classical configurations of a M2-brane, a D2-brane and D0-branes are investigated in the background of an infinite array of M5-branes or NS5-branes. On the M2-brane, we discuss three kinds of configurations, such as a sphere, a cylinder and…
Nonlinear equations of $p$-branes in $D=(2p+1)$-dimensional Minkowski space are discussed. Presented are new exact solutions for a set of spinning $p$-branes with $p=2,3,...,(D-1)/2$ and the Abelian symmetries $U(1)\times U(1)\times...…
In this paper we find D-brane descriptions of some of new open string solutions that were found in 0804.3438[hep-th]. These D5-brane and D3-brane configurations give gravitational dual descriptions of Wilson loops in some particular…
In this paper we present time dependent solution of the open bosonic string field theory describing the motion of the tachyon on unstable D-brane.
In this note, we apply a special metric ansatz to simplify the equations of motion for gravitational systems. Then we construct charged brane solutions in $D=n+p+2$ dimensions which have spherical symmetry of $S^n$ and translational…
Studying dynamics of open strings attached to a D2-brane in a NS two form field background, we find that these open strings act as dipoles of U(1) gauge field of the brane. This provides an string theoretic description of the flux…
