A chiral $(N,0) $ supergravity theory in d=2 dimensions for any $N$ and its induced action can be obtained by constraining the currents of an Osp(N$|$2) WZWN model. The underlying symmetry algebras are the nonlinear SO(N) superconformal…

We apply the procedure that was suggested in [arXiv:0806.1639] to the case of abelian D2-brane Dirac-Born-Infeld effective action and discuss its limitation. Then we suggest an alternative form of this procedure that is based on an…
Multiple actions of the monodromy matrix elements onto off-shell Bethe vectors in the $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$-invariant quantum integrable models are calculated. These actions are used to describe recursions for the highest coefficients in the…
The one-loop correction to eleven-dimensional supergravity involves a cubically divergent term $t_8t_8R^4$, with four Riemann tensors. A similar term (with finite coefficient) has been argued to be present in the M-theory effective action.…
In this paper, we continue our previous study of the low energy effective theory for D4-brane in the large C-field background. The gauge field part of the effective action was found in an earlier work. In this paper, we focus on the matter…
We argue that the trace structure of the non-abelian Born-Infeld action can be fixed by demanding that the action be linearised by certain energy-minimising BPS-like configurations. It is shown how instantons in D4-branes, SU(2) monopoles…
The IIB matrix model proposes a mechanism for dynamically generating four dimensional space--time in string theory by spontaneous breaking of the ten dimensional rotational symmetry $\textrm{SO}(10)$. Calculations using the Gaussian…

As a preparation for the study of {\it arbitrary} extensions of $d=2$ gravity we present a detailed investigation of $SO(N)$ supergravity. By gauging a chiral, nilpotent subgroup of the $OSp(N|2)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model we obtain an all…
Recently, solutions of the Born-Infeld theory representing strings emanating from a Dirichlet p-brane have been constructed. We discuss the embedding of these Born-Infeld solutions into the non-abelian theory appropriate to multiple…
We discuss recent results on one-loop contributions to the effective action in {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. Contributions with five external vector fields are compared with corresponding ones in open…
We study the instanton effective action in deformed four-dimensional N=2 and N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories. These deformed gauge theories are defined on the D-brane world-volume in the presence of constant, self-dual Ramond-Ramond…
The formation of a confining string (or a p-brane) in a Poincare' invariant theory breaks spontaneously this symmetry which is thereby realized non-linearly in the effective action of these extended objects. As a consequence the form of the…
The gravitational effective average action is studied in a bimetric truncation with a nontrivial background field dependence, and its renormalization group flow due to a scalar multiplet coupled to gravity is derived. Neglecting the metric…
The Born--Infeld theory of a D3-brane intersecting with(p,q) strings is reconsidered. From the assumption that the electromagnetic fields are those of a dyon, and using the kappa invariance of the action, the explicit scalar field and its…
We explore the light-cone gauge formulation of a closed supermembrane on AdS_{7} x S^{4}. We obtain the action of matrix quantum mechanics with large N U(N) gauge symmetry for the light-cone supermembrane. We show that this action…
We consider the Born-Infeld action for symmetry-preserving, orientable D-branes in compact group manifolds. We find classical solutions that obey the flux quantization condition. They correspond to conformally invariant boundary conditions…
