We carefully analyze the supersymmetry algebra of closed strings and open strings in a type IIB plane wave background. We use eight component chiral spinors, SO(8) Majorana-Weyl spinors, in light-cone gauge to provide a useful basis of…

Using large-scale determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations in combination with the stochastic analytical continuation, we study two-particle dynamical correlation functions in the anisotropic square lattice of weakly coupled…

Polchinski's recent construction of Dirichlet-branes of R-R charges, together with Witten's mechanism for forming bound states of both NS-NS charges and R-R charges, provides a rigorous method to treat these dy-branes. We construct the…

A Dp-brane can be regarded as a configuration of infinitely many D(p-2k)-branes in bosonic string. We will show this property of D-branes in the superstring case using the hybrid formalism. It is convenient to study the boundary state for…

Method for computing scattering amplitudes of open strings with Dirichlet boundary on one end and Neumann boundary condition on the other is described. Vertex operator for these states are constructed using twist fields which have been…

We present a new class of asymptotically AdS magnetic solutions in ($n+1$)-dimensional dilaton gravity in the presence of an appropriate combination of three Liouville-type potentials. This class of solutions is asymptotically AdS in six…

We show that Wess-Zumino terms for D-p branes with p>0 in the Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space are given in terms of "left-invariant" currents on the super-AdS group or the "expanded" super-AdS group. As a result there is no topological extension…

This thesis describes an attempt to write down covariant actions for coincident D-branes using so-called boundary fermions instead of matrices to describe the non-abelian fields. These fermions can be thought of as Chan-Paton degrees of…

In $d=4k+2$ dimensions, $p$-form gauge fields (with $p=2k$) with self-dual field strengths couple naturally to dyonic branes with equal electric and magnetic charges. Sen's action for a $p$-form gauge field with self-dual field strength…

In this short paper the noncommutative geometry and quantization of branes and the AdS is discussed. The question in part addresses an open problem left by this author in [1] on how branes are generated by stringy physics. The breaking of…

We construct and analyze D-branes in superstring theories in even dimensions less than ten. The backgrounds under study are supersymmetric R^{d-1,1} \times SL(2,R)_k / U(1) where the level of the supercoset is tuned such as to provide bona…

We study two-dimensional SQED viewed as the world-volume theory of a D-string in the presence of D5-branes with non-zero background fields that induce attractive forces between the branes. In various approximations, the low-energy dynamics…

In the previous paper [hep-th/9904129], we constructed a general explicit BPS solution for (F, D3) non-threshold bound state. By using the SL(2,Z) symmetry of type IIB string theory, we here construct from (F, D3) a more general BPS…

We study semi-classically the dynamics of string solitons in the Maldacena-Nunez background, dual in the infra-red to N=1, d=4 SYM. For closed string configurations rotating in the S^2 x R space wrapped by the stack of N D-branes we find a…

We discuss a set of universal couplings between superstring Ramond-Ramond gauge fields and the gauge fields internal to D-branes, with emphasis on their topological consequences, and argue that instanton solutions in these internal theories…

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…

We investigate the properties of the AdS D1-branes which are the bound states of a curved D1-brane with $n$ fundamental strings (F1) in the $AdS_3$ spacetime, and the AdS D2-branes which are the axially symmetric bound states of a curved…

I show here that if we construct D-branes not in the form of infinite superpositions of string modes, in order to satisfy the technical condition of coherence by means of eigenstates of annihilation operators, but instead insist on an…

The geometry of spinning codimension-two branes in AdS spacetime is analyzed in three and higher dimensions. The construction of non-extremal solutions is based on identifications in the covering of AdS space by isometries that have fixed…

Supersymmetric U(Nc) gauge theory with Nf massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation is given by the brane configuration made of Nc fractional Dp-branes stuck at the Z_2 orbifold singularity on Nf separated D(p+4)-branes. We…
