A class of D-branes for the type IIB plane-wave background is considered that preserve half the dynamical supersymmetries of the light-cone gauge. The D-branes of this type are the euclidean (or instantonic) (0,0), (0,4) and (4,0) branes…
We calculate the interaction potential between widely separated D-branes in PP-wave backgrounds in string theory as well as in low-energy supergravity. Timelike and spacelike orientations are qualitatively different but in both cases the…
We present a detailed study of D-branes in the axially gauged SL(2,R)/U(1) coset conformal field theory for integer level k. Our analysis is based on the modular bootstrap approach and utilizes the extended SL(2,R)/U(1) characters and the…
We study several different kinds of bound states built from D-branes and orientifolds. These states are to atoms what branonium - the bound state of a brane and its anti-brane - is to positronium, inasmuch as they typically involve a light…
We introduce a boundary state which is corresponding to a D$p$-brane with tangential dynamics in the presence of the Kalb-Ramond field, a tachyonic field and a $U(1)$ gauge potential in a special gauge. From the interaction of such branes…
We construct BRST invariant solitonic states in the OSp invariant string field theory for closed bosonic strings. Our construction is a generalization of the one given in the noncritical case. These states are made by using the boundary…
Spectrum of elementary string states in type II string theory compactified on a torus contains short multiplets which are invariant under only one quarter of the space-time supersymmetry generators. $U$-duality transformation converts these…
We discuss graded D-brane systems of the topological A model on a Calabi-Yau threefold, by means of their string field theory. We give a detailed analysis of the extended string field action, showing that it satisfies the classical master…
We introduce T-duality invariant versions of D-branes in doubled geometry using a global covariant framework based on para-Hermitian geometry and metric algebroids. We define D-branes as conformal boundary conditions for the open string…
A zero-brane is used to probe non-threshold BPS bound states of (p, p+2,p+4)-branes. At long distances the stringy calculation agrees with the supergravity calculations. The supergravity description is given, using the interpretation of the…
This paper addresses several unsettled issues associated with string creation in systems of orthogonal Dp-D(8-p) branes. The interaction between the branes can be understood either from the closed string or open string picture. In the…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to a recently studied class of phenomenologically interesting string models, known as Intersecting D-Brane Models. The gauge fields of the Standard-Model are localized on D-branes wrapping certain…
Certain gauge theories in four dimensions are known to admit semi-classical D-brane solitons. These are domain walls on which vortex flux tubes may end. The purpose of this paper is to develop an open-string description of these D-branes.…
The problem of describing the boundary states of unstable non-BPS D-branes of type-II string theories in light-cone Green-Schwarz (GS) formalism is addressed. Regarding the type II theories in light-cone gauge as different realizations of…
A Born--Infeld theory describing a $D2$--brane coupled to a 3--form RR potential is reconsidered and a new type of static solution is obtained which is even stable.
The description of B-type D-branes on a tensor product of two N=2 minimal models in terms of matrix factorisations is related to the boundary state description in conformal field theory. As an application we show that the D0- and D2-brane…
In this paper we construct complete macroscopic operators in two dimensional type 0 string theory. They represent D-branes localized in the time direction. We give another equivalent description of them as deformed Fermi surfaces. We also…
In this paper, we give a map from matrices to a commutative geometry from a bound state of a D2-brane and N D0-branes. For this, tachyons in auxiliary unstable D-brane system describing the bound state play crucial roles. We found the map…
We give a simple method to calculate the semiclassical $D$-brane boundary states of the bosonic string propagating in an arbitrary curved spacetime in a perturbative approach in which the metric $g_{AB}$ and the constant antisymmetric…
In this note we extend previous work on massless Ramond spectra of open strings connecting D-branes wrapped on complex manifolds, to consider D-branes wrapped on smooth complex orbifolds. Using standard methods, we calculate the massless…
