The covariant field equations of ten-dimensional super D-branes are obtained by considering fundamental strings whose ends lie in the superworldsurface of the D-brane. By considering in a similar fashion Dp-branes ending on D(p+2)-branes we…
We show that bosonic D-brane states may be represented as coherent states in an open string representation. By using the Thermo-Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism, we may construct a condensed state of open string modes which encodes the…
We present an overview of the ways in which D-brane charges are classified in terms of K-theory, emphasizing the natural physical interpretations of a homological classification within a topological setting.
This paper illustrates the derivation of the low-energy background field solutions of D2-branes and D4-branes intersecting at non-trivial angles by solving directly the bosonic equations of motion of II supergravity coupled to a dilaton and…
We derive the left-right entanglement entropy (LREE) for a bosonic D$p$-brane. This brane has tangential dynamics and has been dressed by a $U(1)$ gauge potential, the Kalb-Ramond field and a tachyon field. For this purpose, the R\'{e}nyi…
This paper is devoted to the construction of stable and unstable Dp-branes in generalized Carroll space-times. We also study tachyon solutions on the world-volume of unstable Dp-brane in Carrollian background and discuss their physical…
In a previous paper [hep-th/0012251] we proposed a simple class of actions for string field theory around the tachyon vacuum. In this paper we search for classical solutions describing D-branes of different dimensions using the ansatz that…
We study the properties of a D-brane in the presence of $k$ NS5 branes. The Dirac-Born-Infeld action describing the dynamics of this D-brane is very similar to that of a non-BPS D-brane in ten dimensions. As the D-brane approaches the…
In this paper we discuss the boson/vortex duality by mapping the (3+1)D Gross-Pitaevskii theory into an effective string theory in the presence of boundaries. Via the effective string theory, we find the Seiberg-Witten map between the…
$D$-brane boundary states for type II superstrings are constructed by enforcing the conditions that preserve half of the space-time supersymmetry. A light-cone coordinate frame is used where time is identified as one of the coordinates…
We compute the emission of closed string radiation from homogeneous rolling tachyons. For an unstable decaying D$p$-brane the radiated energy is infinite to leading order for $p\leq 2$ and finite for $p>2$. The closed string state produced…
We construct solitonic states in the OSp invariant string field theory, which are BRST invariant in the leading order of regularization parameter. One can show that these solitonic states describe D-branes and ghost D-branes, by calculating…
The type 0 theories have twice as many stable D-branes as the type II theories. In light of this added complication, we find the descent relations for D-branes in the type 0A and 0B theories. In addition, we work out how the two types of…
We construct new bosonic boundary states in the light-cone gauge which describe D(p)-branes moving at the speed of light.
We show how the topological string partition function, which is known to capture the degeneracies of a gas of BPS spinning M2-branes in M-theory compactified to 5 dimensions, is related to a 4-dimensional D-brane system that consists of…
This is a note on the coupled supergravity-tachyon matter system, which has been earlier proposed as a candidate for the effective space-time description of S-branes. In particular, we study an ansatz with the maximal ISO(p+1)xSO(8-p,1)…
We investigate some aspects of the spectrum of D-branes and their interactions with closed strings. As argued earlier, a collection of many D-strings behaves, at large dilaton values, as a single multiply wound string. We use this result…
The classical solution of bosonic d-brane in (d+1,1) space-time is studied. We work with light-cone gauge and reduce the problem into Chaplygin gas problem. The static equation is equivalent to vanishing of extrinsic mean curvature, which…
The D-brane spectrum of a $\Zop_2\times\Zop_2$ Calabi-Yau three-fold orbifold of toroidally compactified Type IIA and Type IIB string theory is analysed systematically. The corresponding K-theory groups are determined and complete agreement…
Using the techniques of two dimensional conformal field theory we construct time dependent classical solutions in open string theory describing the decay of an unstable D-brane in the presence of background electric field, and explicitly…
