We show that supersymmetric and $\kappa$-symmetric Dp-brane actions in type II supergravity background have the same duality transformation properties as those in a flat Minkowskian background. Specially, it is shown that the super D-string…
We show that the linearized supergravity potential between two objects arising from the exchange of quanta with zero longitudinal momentum is reproduced to all orders in 1/r by terms in the one-loop Matrix theory potential. The essential…
On the basis of the Berkovits pure spinor formalism of covariant quantization of supermembrane, we attempt to construct a M(atrix) theory which is covariant under $SO(1,10)$ Lorentz group. We first construct a bosonic M(atrix) theory by…
We propose a method for constructing super-brane actions where every background tensor potential corresponds to a world-volume field strength. The procedure provides a natural coupling to the background and automatically displays the…
In the lightcone frame, where the supermembrane theory and the Matrix model are strikingly similar, the equations of motion admit an elegant complexification in even dimensional spaces. Although the explicit rotational symmetry of the…
We show that the Born-Infeld action with the Wess-Zumino terms for the Ramond-Ramond fields, which is the D3-brane effective action, is a solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equation of type IIB supergravity. Adopting the radial…
We discuss supersymmetry in twelve dimensions and present a covariant supersymmetric action for a brane with worldsheet signature (2,2), called a super (2+2)-brane, propagating in the osp(64,12) superspace. This superspace is explicitly…
Using the kappa-symmetric action for a D3-brane, we study the interaction between its world-volume fermions and a bosonic type IIB supergravity background preserving 4-dimensional Lorentz invariance. We find that the renormalizable terms in…
The effective action of N=2 supersymmetric 5-dimensional supergravity arising from compactifications of M-theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds receives non-perturbative corrections from wrapped Euclidean membranes and fivebranes. These…
Type-IIB supergravity in ten dimensions admits two consistent $Z_2$ truncations. After the insertion of D9-branes, one of them leads to the low-energy action of type-I string theory, and it can be performed in two different ways, in…
Expanding Nambu-Goto action near infinitely long string vacuum one can compute scattering amplitudes of 2d massless fields representing transverse string coordinates. As was shown in arXiv:1203.1054, the resulting S-matrix is integrable, in…
Domain walls in supersymmetric Yang-Mills are BPS configurations which preserve two supercharges of the parent theory and so their tensions are known exactly. On the other hand, they have been described as D-branes for the confining string.…
This paper presents a general covariant lagrangian framework for the dynamics of a system of closed n-branes and dual (D-n-4)-branes in D dimensions, interacting with a dynamical (n+1)-form gauge potential. The framework proves sufficiently…
Starting with intersecting M2-branes in M-theory, the IIA supertube can be found by compactification with a boost to the speed of light in the compact dimension. A similar procedure applied to Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau instantons on $\bC^3$,…
A new class of deformation of the matrix model of M-theory is considered. The deformation is analogous to the so-called $\b$-deformation of $D=3+1$, $\mN=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory, which preserves the conformal symmetry. It is shown that…
The effective field equations of motion for a mixed theory of open and closed (2,2) world-sheet supersymmetric critical strings are shown to be integrable in the case of an abelian gauge group. The Born-Infeld-type effective action in 2+2…
We study deformations of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with space-time dependent couplings by embedding probe D3-branes in supergravity backgrounds with non-trivial fluxes. The effective action on the world-volume of the…
We present dyonic multi-membrane solutions of the N=2 D=8 supergravity theory that serves as the effective field theory of the $T^2$-compactified type II superstring theory. The `electric' charge is fractional for generic asymptotic values…
Born-Infeld theory is the non-linear generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics. It naturally arises as the low-energy effective action of open strings, and it is also part of the world-volume effective action of D-branes. The N=1 and N=2…
We treat the action for a bosonic membrane as a sigma model, and then compute quantum corrections by integrating out higher membrane modes. As in string theory, where the equations of motion of Einstein's theory emerges by setting $\beta =…
