We give the full supersymmetric and kappa-symmetric action for the Dirichlet three-brane, including its coupling to background superfields of ten-dimensional type IIB supergravity.
Considered are superparticle and superstring models invariant under supersymmetry in a target superspace and local extended worldsheet supersymmetry the latter replacing the fermionic $\kappa$--symmetry of the conventional Green--Schwarz…
We shall construct the Dirac-Born-Infeld like and the Wess-Zumino like actions for a dynamical D$p$-brane with the $U(1)$ gauge potential and the Kalb-Ramond background field. The brane dynamics simultaneously has both tangential and…
We calculate the beta-functions for an open string sigma-model in the presence of a U(1) background. Passing to N=2 boundary superspace, in which the background is fully characterized by a scalar potential, significantly facilitates the…
In this thesis we have obtained and studied the complete set of superfield equations of motion for the interacting system of four-dimensional supermembrane and dynamical scalar multiplet. This study provides the first example of superfield…
Starting from a theory of fermions moving in a fixed gauge and gravitational background we implement the scale invariance of the theory. Upon quantization the theory is anomalous but the anomaly can be cancelled by the addition of another…
We consider Yang-Mills theory with $N{=}1$ super translation group in eleven auxiliary dimensions as the structure group. The gauge theory is defined on a direct product manifold $\Sigma_3\times S^1$, where $\Sigma_3$ is a three-dimensional…
We explore various geometrical aspects of an action for six-dimensional chiral 2-forms based on the formalism of 1903.12196. We elucidate the coupling to general backgrounds and construct the full supersymmetric completion to an abelian…
We study the three-dimensional effective action obtained by reducing eleven-dimensional supergravity with higher-derivative terms on a background solution including a warp-factor, an eight-dimensional compact manifold, and fluxes. The…
We study the combined effect of world-volume and background fluxes on Euclidean D3-brane instantons in F-theory compactifications. We derive an appropriate form of the fermionic effective action, in which the fermions are topologically…
We investigate further our recent proposal for the form of the matrix theory action in weak background fields. Using Seiberg's scaling argument we relate the matrix theory action to a low-energy system of many D0-branes in an arbitrary but…
Three-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories are constructed by compactifying M5-branes on three-manifolds. In the infrared the branes recombine, and the physics is captured by a single M5-brane on a branched cover of the original…
We establish self-duality of super D3-brane theory as an exact symmetry of the action both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism. In the Lagrangian formalism, the action is shown to satisfy the Gaillard-Zumino condition. This…
We discuss in a systematic way all the possible realisations of branes of M and type II theories as topological solitons of a brane-antibrane system. The classification of all the possibilities, consistent with the structure of the theory,…
We derive the spacetime superalgebras explicitly from ``test'' M-brane actions in M-brane backgrounds to the lowest order in $\theta$ via canonical formalism, and discuss various BPS saturated configurations on the basis of their central…
The effective four-dimensional supergravity of M-theory compactified on the orbifold S^1/Z_2 and a Calabi-Yau threefold includes in general moduli supermultiplets describing massless modes of five-branes. For each brane, one of these fields…
We describe the type IIB supergravity background on AdS_{3} x S_{3} x T^{4} using the potentials of AdS_{3|4} x S_{3} x T^{4} and we use the supersolvable algebra associated to AdS_{3|4} to compute the kappa gauge fixed type IIB string…
When placed on four-manifolds, $ \mathcal{N} = 2 $ gauge theories couple to topological invariants of the background via two functions $ A $ and $ B $. General considerations allow for these functions to be fixed in terms of the Coulomb…
We calculate a component of connection superfields and Lorentz superparameter at second order in anticommuting coordinates in terms of the component fields of 11-dimensional on-shell supergravity by using `Gauge completion'. This…
Type II superstring theory with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions admit antisymmetric tensors with varying degrees in the spectrum. We show that there exists a family of dual supergravity lagrangians to the $N=2$ type IIA…
