We consider solutions to the string effective action corresponding to p-Branes, D-Branes and M-Branes and discuss some of their properties.

This is a concise foreword to, rather than a review of D-brane physics.

We review recent studies of branes in AdS x S and pp-wave spaces using effective action methods (probe branes and supergravity). We also summarise results on an algebraic study of D-branes in these spaces, using extensions of the…

PhD thesis concerning cohomological finiteness conditions of infinite discrete groups. Much of the material in this thesis has also appeared in arXiv:1311.7629, arXiv:1310.6262, arXiv:1311.6156, and arXiv:1207.1597.

A brief, non-technical and non-exhaustive review of D(irichlet)-branes and (some) of their applications is given.

In this article the action of T-duality on a mixed brane is studied in the boundary state formalism. We also obtain a two dimensional mixed brane with non-zero electric and magnetic fields, from a D$_1$-brane.

We review recent developments in the theory of brane tilings and four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric quiver gauge theories. This review consists of two parts. In part I, we describe foundations of brane tilings, emphasizing the physical…

Tensionless null p-branes in arbitrary cosmological backgrounds are considered and their motion equations are solved. It is shown that an ideal fluid of null p-branes may be considered as a source of gravity for D-dimensional Friedmann-…

In the last few years, brane tilings have proven to be an efficient and convenient way of studying supersymmetric gauge theories living on D3-branes or M2-branes. In these pages we present a quick and simple introduction to the subject,…

We study non-supersymmetric orbifold singularities from the point of view of D-brane probes. We present a description of the decay of such singularities from considerations of the toric geometry of the probe branes.

BRST quantization is carried out for a model of p-branes with second class constraints. After extension of the phase space the constraint algebra coincides with the one of null string when p=1. It is shown that in this case one can or can…

This dissertation is about The history of quaternions and their associated rotation groups as it relates to theoretical physics.

We propose a new class of p-brane models describing intrinsically lightlike branes in any world-volume dimensions. Properties of the dynamics of these lightlike p-branes in various gravitational backgrounds of interest in the context of…

Recently a new formalism has been developed for the covariant quantization of superstrings. We study properties of Dp-branes and p-branes in this new framework, focusing on two different topics: effective actions and boundary states for…

A geometrical form of the supersymmetry conditions for D-branes on arbitrary type II supersymmetric backgrounds is derived, as well as the associated BPS bounds. The treatment is general and allows to consider, for instance, non-static…

This thesis develops the theory of bundle gerbes and examines a number of useful constructions in this theory. These allow us to gain a greater insight into the structure of bundle gerbes and related objects. Furthermore they naturally lead…

We study some wrapped configurations of branes in the near-horizon geometry of a stack of other branes. The common feature of all the cases analyzed is a quantization rule and the appearance of a finite number of static configurations in…

We further investigate the dimensional duality (D-duality) proposed in arXiv:0705.0550 by mainly focusing on the properties of D-branes in this background. We derive the world-sheet correspondence of static D-branes, and discuss the fate of…

In these lectures we review the basic ideas of perturbative and non-perturbative string theory. On the non-perturbative side we give an introduction to D-branes and string duality. The elementary concepts of non-BPS branes and…

We show that the exact entropy and the temperature (including coeffecient) of non-extremal black p-brane are calculated by maximizing the entropy under several assumptions. We argue the relation of those assumptions and certain Dp-D(p-2)…
