We use the permutation symmetry between the product of several group manifolds in combination with orbifolds and T-duality to construct new classes of symmetry breaking branes on products of group manifolds. The resulting branes mix the…
We analyze in detail the D-branes in the near-horizon limit of NS5-branes on a circle, the holographic dual of little string theory in a double scaling limit. We emphasize their geometry in the background of the NS5-branes and show the…
This paper presents 10-point and 12-point versions of the recently introduced number theoretic Hilbert (NHT) transforms. Such transforms have applications in signal processing and scrambling. Polymorphic solutions with respect to different…
It is argued that D-brane charge takes values in K-homology. For smooth manifolds with spin structure, this could explain why the phase factor $\Omega(x)$ calculated with a D-brane state x in IIB theory appears in Diaconescu, Moore and…
We examine the supersymmetry of classical D-brane and M-brane configurations and explain the dependence of Killing spinors on coordinates. We find that one half supersymmetry is broken in the bulk and that supersymmetry near the D-brane…
We give some methods for computing equations for certain Shimura curves, natural maps between them, and special points on them. We then illustrate these methods by working out several examples in varying degrees of detail. For instance, we…
We construct the pair of logarithmic operators associated with the recoil of a $D$-brane. This construction establishes a connection between a translation in time and a world-sheet rescaling. The problem of measuring the centre of mass…
For a finitely generated associative algebra $\cA$ over a commutative ring $k$ we construct the Hilbert scheme ${\bf H}^{[n]}_{\cA}$ which parametrizes left ideals in $\cA$ of codimension $n.$
We present a method to construct a chain of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces controlled by a first-order system of differential equations from a given unimodular function satisfying several conditions. One of the applications of that…
We review two types of D-branes processes where open strings are created. In the first type, a closed string incident on a collection of D-branes is converted into a number of open strings running along them. For the case of threebranes we…
Building on earlier work, we construct linear sigma models for strings on curved spaces in the presence of branes. Our models include an extremely general class of brane-worldvolume gauge field configurations. We explain in an accessible…
We describe a simple method for generating new string solutions for which the brane worldvolume is a curved space. As a starting point we use solutions with NS-NS charges combined with 2-d CFT's representing different parts of space-time.…
We compare the Hilbert series approach with explicit constructions of higher-order Lagrangians for the $O(N)$ nonlinear sigma model. We use the Hilbert series to find the number and type of operators up to mass dimension 16, for spacetime…
For a finite subgroup $\Gamma\subset \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and $n\geq 1$, we construct the (reduced scheme underlying the) Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on the Kleinian singularity $\mathbb{C}^2/\Gamma$ as a Nakajima quiver variety for…
The light-like linear dilaton background presents a simple time dependent solution of type II supergravity equations of motion that preserves 1/2 supersymmetry in ten dimensions. We construct supergravity D-brane solutions in a linear…
In this paper the hybrid-NLIE approach of [38] is extended to the ground state of a D-brane anti-D-brane system in AdS/CFT. The hybrid-NLIE equations presented in the paper are finite component alternatives of the previously proposed TBA…
We consider the asymmetric orbifold that is obtained by acting with T-duality on a 4-torus, together with a shift along an extra circle. The chiral algebra of the resulting theory has non-trivial outer automorphisms that act as permutations…
The amplitudes for emission and scattering of N=2 strings off D-branes are calculated. We consider in detail the amplitudes <cc> and <occ> for the different types of D-branes. For some D-branes we find massive poles in the scattering…
The algebraic definition of charges for symmetry-preserving D-branes in Wess-Zumino-Witten models is shown to coincide with the geometric definition, for all simple Lie groups. The charge group for such branes is computed from the…
We study the open string extension of the mirror map for N=1 supersymmetric type II vacua with D-branes on non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds. Its definition is given in terms of a system of differential equations that annihilate certain…
