We examine the role of non-commutative geometry in D$p$-branes within large R-R field backgrounds. In this context, the background of a significant ($p-1$)-form R-R field can be effectively described using a ($p-1$)-bracket, similar to the…
We study Type IIB supergravity in the presence of (euclidean) D3 branes and nonzero self-dual B-fields. We point out that the Einstein frame metric is identical to the full geometry for D3 branes without B fields turned on. Furthermore, in…
We consider gauge/gravity correspondence for general Dp-branes with $0\le p\le 4$, namely, the duality between the (p+1)-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and superstring theory on the near-horizon limit of the Dp-brane…
We obtain a Seiberg-Witten map for the gauge sector of multiple D$p$-branes in a large R-R $(p-1)$-form field background up to the first-order in the inverse R-R field background. By applying the Seiberg-Witten map and then electromagnetic…
We examine magnetic and electric near horizon regions of maximally supersymmetric D-brane and NS5-brane bound states and find transformations between near horizon regions with worldvolume dual magnetic and electric fluxes. These point to…
We study the dynamics of quenched fundamental matter in $\mathcal{N}=2^\ast$ supersymmetric large $N$ SU(N) Yang-Mills theory at zero temperature. Our tools for this study are probe D7-branes in the holographically dual $\mathcal{N}=2^\ast$…
We revisit the relation of the six-dimensional (2,0) M5-brane Conformal Field Theory compactified on a circle to 5D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills Gauge Theory. We show that in the broken phase 5D super-Yang-Mills contains a spectrum…
We perform a systematic analysis of the D-brane charges associated with string theory realizations of d=3 gauge theories, focusing on the examples of the N=4 supersymmetric U(N)xU(N+M) Yang-Mills theory and the N=3 supersymmetric…
It has been conjectured that a pair of D5 - anti D5 branes wrapped on some non-trivial two cycle of a Calabi-Yau manifold becomes a stable BPS D3 brane in the presence of a very large B field and magnetic fluxes on their worldvolumes. We…
Dirichlet p-branes in the background of pp waves are constructed using the massive Green-Schwarz worldsheet action for open strings. These branes are localized at the origin and only for $p=7, 5, 3$ preserve half the supersymmetries. The…
The purpose of this paper is to understand the low energy effective theory of a Dp-brane in the background of a large constant R-R (p-1)-form field. We start with the M5-brane theory in large C-field background. The C-field background…
The Seiberg-Witten limit of fermionic N=2 string theory with nonvanishing B-field is governed by noncommutative self-dual Yang-Mills theory (ncSDYM) in 2+2 dimensions. Conversely, the self-duality equations are contained in the equation of…
D-brane configurations containing fundamental strings are constructed as classical solutions of Yang-Mills theory. The fundamental strings in these systems stretch between D-branes. In the case of D1-branes, this construction gives smooth…
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…
We review the de Boer-Verlinde-Verlinde formalism for the renormalization group in the context of Dp brane vacua. We comment on various aspects of the dictionary between bulk and boundary and relate the discussion to the Randall-Sundrum…
We study recombinations of D-brane systems intersecting at more than one angle using super Yang-Mills theory. We find the condensation of an off-diagonal tachyon mode relates to the recombination, as was clarified for branes at one angle in…
Here we construct a map from the algebra of fields in two-dimensional noncommutative of U(1) Yang-Mills fields interacting with Kaluza-Klein scalars to a D-dimensional one, as a solution in the two-dimensional model. This proves the…
Bars and Sezgin have proposed a super Yang-Mills theory in $D=s+t=11+3$ space-time dimensions with an electric 3-brane that generalizes the 2-brane of M-theory. More recently, the authors found an infinite family of exceptional super…
$\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with algebra $\mathfrak{so}(4N)$ and appropriate choices of global structure can have non-invertible symmetries. We identify the branes holographically dual to the non-invertible…
We point out that when a D-brane is placed in an NS-NS B field background with non-vanishing field strength (H=dB) along the D-brane worldvolume, the coordinate of one end of the open string does not commute with that of the other in the…
