S-duality symmetry of type IIB string theory predicts the existence of a stable non-BPS state on an orbifold five plane of the type IIB theory if the orbifold group is generated by the simultaneous action of (-1)^{F_L} and the reversal of…
We study decay of a flat unstable D$p$-brane in the context of boundary string field theory action. Three types of homogeneous rolling tachyons are obtained without and with Born-Infeld type electromagnetic field.
I emphasize analogy between Dp-branes in string theories and solitons in gauge theories comparing their common properties and showing differences. We will show that for certain excitations of the string/D3-brane system Neumann boundary…
We examine the solutions of world-volume action for a D3-brane being put near other D3-brane which is replaced by the background configuration of bulk space. It is shown that the BPS solutions are not affected by the D3-brane background,…
We investigate how the presence of RR magnetic $F_{p+2}$ fluxes affects the energy of classical Dp branes, for specific string theory supersymmetric backgrounds which are solutions to the leading order in $\alpha'$ including back-reaction…
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…
In the derivation of the Born-Infeld action for the case with a nontrivial boundary of the string world sheet the appearance of a new term changes the conformal anomaly. This may have many consequences, especially also in the study 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.
In the framework of boundary conformal field theory we consider a flat unstable D$p$-brane in the presence of a large constant electromagnetic field. Specifically, we study the case that the electromagnetic field satisfy the following three…
Using the boundary string field theory (BSFT) techniques we study the boundary state and partition function for a dynamical (rotating-moving) D$p$-brane coupled to the electromagnetic and tachyonic background fields in superstring theory.…
We discuss a new class of brane models (extending both p-brane and Dp-brane cases) where the brane tension appears as an additional dynamical degree of freedom instead of being put in by hand as an ad hoc dimensionfull scale. Consistency of…
The recent discovery of an explicit conformal field theory description of Type II $p$-branes makes it possible to investigate the existence of bound states of such objects. In particular, it is possible with reasonable precision to verify…
We construct a system of bosonic closed string field theory coupled to a D-brane. The interaction between the D-brane and closed string field is introduced using the boundary state which is a function of constant field strength $F_{\mu\nu}$…
In this talk we will discuss the low energy dynamics of non-BPS branes constructed as stable brane/anti-brane pairs at an orbifold. In particular we will determine the effective field theory and compare its predictions with those of the…
In this thesis we discuss some nonperturbative and noncommutative aspects of string theory. We present low-energy background field solutions corresponding to various D-branes (and their bound states) and intersecting branes in flat and…
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…
Recently a boundary string field theory that had been proposed some time ago, was used to calculate correctly the ratios of D-brane (both BPS and non-BPS) tensions. We discuss how this work is related to the boundary state formalism and…
Many string theories contain states which are not BPS, but are stable due to charge conservation. In many cases the description of these states in the strong coupling limit remains unknown despite the existence of a weakly coupled dual…
We study the closed string emission from an unstable D$p$-brane with constant background electric field in bosonic string theory. The average total number density and the average total energy density of emitted closed strings are explicitly…
We determine the consistent D-brane configurations in type II nonsupersymmetric Melvin Background. The D-branes are analysed from three complementary points of view: the effective Born-Infeld action, the open string partition function and…
