A generalization of the Bardeen formalism to the case of warped geometries is presented. The system determining the gauge-invariant fluctuations of the metric induced by the scalar fluctuations of the brane is reduced to a set of…

We derive and solve the full set of scalar perturbation equations for a class of $Z_2$-symmetric five-dimensional geometries generated by a bulk cosmological constant and by a 3-brane non-minimally coupled to a bulk dilaton field. The…

We study the spectrum of scalar mesons in the holographic dual of walking technicolor, obtained by embedding D7 - anti-D7 probe branes in a certain type IIB background. The scalar mesons arise from fluctuations of the probe techniflavour…

We derive and solve the full set of scalar perturbation equations for a class of five-dimensional brane--world solutions, with a dilaton scalar field coupled to the bulk cosmological constant and to a 3-brane. The spectrum contains one…

We study D7 brane probes holomorphically embedded in the Klebanov-Strassler model. Analyzing the $\kappa$-symmetry condition for D7 branes wrapping a 4-cycle of a deformed conifold we find configurations that do not break N=1 supersymmetry…

A manifestly gauge-invariant theory of gravitational fluctuations of brane-world scenarios is discussed. Without resorting to any specific gauge choice, a general method is presented in order to disentangle the fluctuations of the brane…

We calculate the spectrum of fluctuations of a probe Dk-brane in the background of N Dp-branes, for k=p,p+2,p+4 and p< 5. The result corresponds to the mesonic spectrum of a (p+1)-dimensional super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory coupled to…

We outline a general strategy to deal with perturbations in brane world models. We illustrate the method by studying simple 6D brane world compactifications. We introduce the background geometries induced by the branes, and summarize the…

The localization of metric fluctuations on scalar brane configurations breaking spontaneously five-dimensional Poincar\'e invariance is discussed. Assuming that the four-dimensional Planck mass is finite and that the geometry is regular, it…

We investigate the supersymmetric D-brane configurations in the pp-wave backgrounds proposed by Maldacena and Maoz. We study the surviving supersymmetry in a D-brane configuration from the worldvolume point of view. When we restrict…

In this work, we study 5-dimensional braneworld scenarios in the scalar-tensor representation of the generalized hybrid metric-Palatini gravitational theory. We start by considering a model for a brane supported purely by the gravitational…

D-branes in curved backgrounds can be treated with techniques of boundary conformal field theory. We discuss the influence of scalar condensates on such branes, i.e. perturbations of boundary conditions by marginal boundary operators. A…

We study the evolution of perturbations on a moving probe D3-brane coupled to a 4-form field in an AdS$_5$-Schwarzschild bulk. The unperturbed dynamics are parametrised by a conserved energy $E$ and lead to Friedmann-Robertson-Walker…

We consider a cosmological brane moving in a static five-dimensional bulk spacetime endowed with a scalar field whose potential is exponential. After studying various cosmological behaviours for the homogeneous background, we investigate…

We search for integrable boundary conditions and their geometric interpretation as $D$-branes, in models constructed as generalized $\lambda$-deformations of products of group- and coset-spaces. Using the sigma-model approach, we find that…

In the context of gauge/gravity duality, we study both probe D7-- and probe D5--branes in global Anti-de Sitter space. The dual field theory is N=4 theory on R x S^3 with added flavour. The branes undergo a geometrical phase transition in…

Our motivation is to find the relationship between the commutator of coordinates and uncertainty relation involving only the coordinates. The boundary condition with constant background field is connected with the rotation of D-brane at…

We study gravity in backgrounds that are smooth generalizations of the Randall-Sundrum model, with and without scalar fields. These generalizations include three-branes in higher dimensional spaces which are not necessarily Anti-de Sitter…

Extra-dimensional theories contain additional degrees of freedom related to the geometry of the extra space which can be interpreted as new particles. Such theories allow to reformulate most of the fundamental problems of physics from a…

The properties of the D-brane fluctuations are investigated using the two types of deformation of the Dirac structure, based on the B-transformation and the beta-transformation, respectively. The former gives the standard gauge theory with…
