We consider compactifications of the N=1, d=6, E_8 theory on tori to five, four, and three dimensions and learn about some properties of this theory. As a by-product we derive the SL(2,\IZ) duality of the N=2, d=4, SU(2) theory with N_f=4.…

We consider a compactification with a six-dimensional torus in the type II brane gas models. We show that the dilaton and the scale of each cycle of the internal space are fixed in the presence of NS5-brane and Kaluza-Klein monopoles as…

We show that the supermembrane theory compactified on a torus is invariant under T-duality. There are two different topological sectors of the compactified supermembrane (M2) classified according to a vanishing or nonvanishing second…

We discuss various dual {\it pairs} of $M$-theory compactifications. Each pair consists of a compactification in which the two-brane plays the crucial role in relation to a string theory and a compactification in which the five-brane takes…

We consider the type I theory compactified on $T^3$. When the D5-brane wraps the $T^3$ it yields a D2-brane in seven dimensions. In the leading approximation the moduli space of vacua of the three dimensional field theory on the brane is…

We show that the moduli space of the $(2,0)$ and little-string theories compactified on $T^3$ with R-symmetry twists is equal to the moduli space of U(1) instantons on a non-commutative $T^4$. The moduli space of $U(q)$ instantons on a…

We study compactifications of string theory and M-theory to six dimensions with background fluxes. The nonzero fluxes lead to additional mass parameters. We derive the S- and T-duality rules for the corresponding (massive) supergravity…

By identifying the moduli space of coupling constants in the SYM description of toroidal compactifications of M(atrix)-Theory, we construct the M(atrix) description of the moduli spaces of Type IIA string theory compactified on T^n.…

We attempt to find a rigorous formulation for the massive type IIA orientifold compactifications of string theory introduced in hep-th/0505160. An approximate double T-duality converts this background into IIA string theory on a twisted…

We construct T-duality on K3 surfaces. The T-duality exchanges a 4-brane R-R charge and a 0-brane R-R charge. We study the action of the T-duality on the moduli space of 0-branes located at points of K3 and 4-branes wrapping it. We apply…

We examine T-duality transformations for supersymmetric strings with target space geometry with compact abelian isometries. We consider the partition function of these models and we show that although T-duality is not a symmetry, due to an…

The non-commutative algebra which defines the theory of zero-branes on $T^4/Z_2$ allows a unified description of moduli spaces associated with zero-branes, two-branes and four-branes on the orbifold space. Bundles on a dual space $\hat…

We study toroidal compactifications of Type II string theory with D-branes and nontrivial antisymmetric tensor moduli and show that turning on these fields modifies the supersymmetry projections imposed by D-branes. These modifications are…

We consider four-dimensional N=1 field theories realized by type IIA brane configurations of NS-branes and D4-branes, in the presence of orientifold six-planes and D6-branes. These configurations are known to present interesting effects…

It is well known that string theory has a T-duality symmetry relating circle compactifications of large and small radius. This symmetry plays a foundational role in string theory. We note here that while T-duality is order two acting on the…

M2 branes probing T-brane backgrounds in M-theory with ADE surface singularities perceive deformations on their worldvolume superpotentials by monopole operators. The dynamics and moduli spaces of the resulting theories can be studied using…

We review some of the features of Type IIA compactifications in the presence of fluxes. In particular, the case of $T^6/(\Omega (-1)^{F_L} \sigma)$ orientifolds with RR, NS and metric fluxes is considered. This has revealed to possess…

We review and extend recent work on the application of the non-commutative geometric framework to an interpretation of the moduli space of vacua of certain deformations of N=4 super Yang-Mills theories. We present a simple worldsheet…

T-branes are a non-abelian generalization of intersecting branes in which the matrix of normal deformations is nilpotent along some subspace. In this paper we study the geometric remnant of this open string data for six-dimensional F-theory…

Fibrewise T-duality (Fourier-Mukai transform) for D-branes on an elliptic Calabi-Yau three-fold $X$ is seen to have an expected adiabatic form for its induced cohomology operation only when an appropriately twisted operation resp. twisted…
