We construct the D-brane states at finite temperature in thermal equilibrium in the $\mathbb{R}^{1,p}\times{\mathbb{T}}^{d-p-1}$ spacetime in the presence of cold (unthermalized) Kalb-Ramond (KR) and U(1) gauge potential background. To this…
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 discuss the open string one-loop partition function in tachyon condensation background of a unstable D-brane system. We evaluate the partition function by using the boundary state formulation and find that it is in complete agreement…
Connection between the partition function for the 2D sigma model with boundary pertubations and the low energy effective action for massless fields from in the open string theory is discussed. In the non-abelian case with a stack of $N$…

We examine p-branes in AdS(D) in two limits where they exhibit partonic behavior: rotating branes with energy concentrated to cusp-like solitons; tensionless branes with energy distributed over singletonic partons on the Dirac hypercone.…
On an unstable D-brane, the rolling of the tachyon away from the maximum of its potential is described by time-dependent solutions in string theory. Subsequent analysis leads to an understanding of physics around the tachyon vacuum in terms…
Closed strings can be seen either as one-dimensional objects in a target space or as points in the free loop space. Correspondingly, a B-field can be seen either as a connection on a gerbe over the target space, or as a connection on a line…
Boundary interactions of closed-string with open-strings are examined intended to provide a constructive formulation of boundary string field theory. As an illustration, we consider the BPS $D$-brane of the type II superstring in a constant…
We analyse the dynamics of an open membrane, both for the free case and when it is coupled to a background three-form, whose boundary is attached to $p$-branes. The role of boundary conditions and constraints in the Nambu-Goto and Polyakov…
The dynamics of a classical branelike object in a curved background is derived from the covariant stress-energy conservation of the brane matter. The world sheet equations and boundary conditions are obtained in the pole-dipole…
D-branes are string theory solitons defined by boundary conditions on open strings that end on them. They play an important role in the non-perturbative dynamics of string theory and have found a wide range of applications. These lectures…
Open strings on a D$p$-brane in the pp-wave spacetime, accompanied by a linear dilaton background, will be studied. Various properties of this system such as solvability of equations of motion and quantization will be investigated.
We study the off-diagonal blocks in the M(atrix) model that are supposed to correspond to open strings stretched between a Dp-brane and a Dp'-brane. It is shown that the spectrum, including the quantum numbers, of the zero modes in the…
In this paper we construct the time dependent boundary states describing the ``rolling D-brane solutions'' in the NS5 background discovered recently by Kutasov by means of the classical DBI analysis. We first survey some aspects of…
We present an improved effective action for the D-brane-anti-D-brane system obtained from boundary superstring field theory. Although the action looks highly non-trivial, it has simple explicit multi-vortex (i.e. codimension-2 multi-BPS…
We study the force balance between orthogonally positioned $p$-brane and $(8-p)$-brane. The force due to graviton and dilaton exchange is repulsive in this case. We identify the attractive force that balances this repulsion as due to…
