We investigate the noncommutative effect on the non-Gaussianities of primordial cosmological perturbation. In the lowest order of string length and slow-roll parameter, we find that in the models with small speed of sound the noncommutative…

In SO(32) heterotic string theory, the space-time at the core of N coincident NS-fivebranes is an infinite throat, R x S^3. As shown by Witten, the throat signals a singularity in the usual heterotic string conformal field theory and a…

We study non-gaussianity effects, using the $\delta N$ formalism, in a multi-field inflationary model consisting of K\"ahler moduli derived from type IIB string compactification in the large volume limit. The analytical work in this paper…

We consider the perturbation of giant gravitons in the background of dilatonic D-branes whose geometry is not of a conventional form of ${\rm AdS}_m \times {\rm S}^n$. We use the quadratic approximation to the brane action to investigate…

In this note we study the N=1 abelian gauge theory on the world volume of a single fractional D3-brane. In the limit where gravitational interactions are not completely decoupled we find that a superpotential and a fermionic bilinear…

We improve on the understanding of the backreaction of anti-D6-branes in a flux background that is mutually BPS with D6-branes. This setup is analogous to the study of the backreaction of anti-D3-branes inserted in the KS throat, but does…

We study AdS$_7$ vacua of massive type IIA string theory compactified on a 3-sphere with $H_3$ flux and anti-D6-branes. In such backgrounds, the anti-brane backreaction is known to generate a singularity in the $H_3$ energy density, whose…

We investigate the non-Gaussianity of the brane inflation which happens in the same throat in the framework of the generalized KKLMMT model. When we take the constraints from non-Gaussianity into account, various consequences are discussed…

We investigate the properties of the AdS D1-branes which are the bound states of a curved D1-brane with $n$ fundamental strings (F1) in the $AdS_3$ spacetime, and the AdS D2-branes which are the axially symmetric bound states of a curved…

We study the motion of a D3 brane moving within a Type IIB string vacuum compactified to 4D on K3 x T_2/Z_2 in the presence of D7 and O7 planes. We work within the effective 4D supergravity describing how the mobile D3 interacts with the…

On the supergravity side, we study the propagation of the RR scalar and the dilaton in the D3-branes with NS $B$-field. To obtain the noncommutative effect, we consider the case of $B\to \infty(\theta \to\pi/2)$. We approximate this as the…

We provide a systematic treatment of possible corrections to the inflaton potential for D-brane inflation in the warped deformed conifold. We consider the D3-brane potential in the presence of the most general possible corrections to the…

In Type IIB flux compactification realizing the metastable de Sitter (dS) vacuum, the uplift potential can be generated by $\overline{\rm D3}$-branes at the tip of Klebanov-Strassler throat. Then the uplift potential obeys the scaling law…

We generalize the swampland criterion forbidding stable non-supersymmetric AdS vacua and propose a new swampland conjecture forbidding stable non-supersymmetric "locally AdS" warped throats. The conjecture is motivated by the properties of…

D-branes on orbifolds with and without discrete torsion are analysed in a unified way using the boundary state formalism. For the example of the Z2 x Z2 orbifold it is found that both the theory with and without discrete torsion possess…

The so-called curvaton mechanism --a way to convert isocurvature perturbations into adiabatic ones-- is investigated both analytically and numerically in a pre-big bang scenario where the role of the curvaton is played by a sufficiently…

In this work, we develop a tool to study string perturbation theory of the Klebanov-Strassler solution in the large radius approximation based on open-closed superstring field theory. Combining the large radius expansion and a double…

The U(1) gauge dynamics on a D4-brane is revisited, with a two form, to construct an effective curvature theory in a second order formalism. We exploit the local degrees in a two form, and modify its dynamics in a gauge invariant way, to…

We construct analytically a perturbative supergravity solution that captures the backreaction of a metastable state of anti-branes in the background of a particular modification of the Klebanov-Strassler throat in a long-wavelength…

We exhibit bound states in the spectrum of non-compact D-branes in N=2 Liouville conformal field theory. We interpret these states in the study of D-branes in the near-horizon limit of Neveu-Schwarz five-branes spread on a topologically…
