D-branes in an AdS_3 background

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-05-05 v3

Abstract

We study the possible D-brane configurations in an AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4 background with a NS-NS B field. We use its WZW model description and the boundary state formalism, and we analyze the bosonic and the N=1 supersymmetric cases separately. We also discuss the corresponding classical open string sigma model. We determine the spacetime supersymmetry preserved by the supersymmetric D-brane configurations.
