The study of brane intersections has provided important insights into a possible non-commutative structure of spacetime geometry. In this paper we focus on the D1$\bot$D3 system. We compare the D1 and D3 descriptions of the interesection…

To do realistic model building in type IIB supergravity, it is important to understand how to fix D7-brane positions by the choice of fluxes. More generally, F-theory model building requires the understanding of how fluxes determine the…

In this contribution we review some recent work on the non-commutative geometry of branes on group manifolds. In particular, we show how fuzzy spaces arise in this context from an exact world-sheet description and we sketch the construction…

We consider the physics of a matrix model describing D0-brane dynamics in the presence of an RR flux background. Non-commuting spaces arise as generic soltions to this matrix model, among which fuzzy spheres have been studied extensively as…

We apply a U-duality based solution-generating technique to construct supergravity solutions which describe nonextremal D5-branes and fluxbranes on various gravitational instantons. This includes an F7-brane wrapped on a sphere, which…

A remarkable feature of D-branes is the appearance of a nonabelian gauge theory in the description of several (nearly) coincident branes. This nonabelian structure plays an important role in realizing various geometric effects with…

The fluctuations around the D0-brane near-horizon geometry are described by two-dimensional SO(9) gauged maximal supergravity. We work out the U(1)^4 truncation of this theory whose scalar sector consists of five dilaton and four axion…

We present new non-Abelian solitonic configurations in the low energy effective theory describing a collection of N parallel D1--branes. These configurations preserve 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 of the spacetime supersymmetry. They are…

We study a class of type I string models with supersymmetry broken on the world-volume of some D-branes and vanishing tree-level potential. Despite the non-supersymmetric spectrum, supersymmetry is non-linearly realized on these D-branes,…

The presentation at Strings 2000 was intended to be in two main parts, but there was only time for part one. However both parts appeared on the online proceedings, and are also included in this document. The first part concerns an…

We have systematically studied superconducting instabilities in the repulsive Hubbard model for d-wave and p-wave pairing in various 2D and 3D lattices. Using fluctuation exchange approximation, we consider 3D face centered cubic lattice,…

We study various rotating and oscillating D-string configurations in some general backgrounds with fluxes. In particular, we look for solutions to the equations of motion of various rigidly rotating D-strings in $AdS_3$ background with…

We consider the polarization of unstable type IIB D0-branes in the presence of a background five-form field strength. This phenomenon is studied from the point of view of the leading terms in the non-abelian Born Infeld action of the…

We reconsider formulating $D$ dimensional gauge theories, with the focus on the case of gravity theories, in spacetimes with boundaries. We extend covariant phase space formalism to the cases in which boundaries are allowed to fluctuate. We…

We investigate fluxbrane solutions to the Einstein-antisymmetric form-dilaton theory in arbitrary space-time dimensions for a transverse space of cylindrical topology $S^k\times R^n$, corresponding to smeared and unsmeared solutions. A…

The non-commutative geometry of a large auxiliary $B$-field simplifies the construction of D-branes as solitons in open string field theory. Similarly, fundamental strings are constructed as localized flux tubes in the string field theory.…

A detailed Monte Carlo calculation of the phase diagram of bosonic IKKT Yang-Mills matrix models in three and six dimensions with quartic mass deformations is given. Background emergent fuzzy geometries in two and four dimensions are…

We investigate the dilaton fluctuations near the string based on three classes of solutions of the 3D C-metric within the framework of the string-world holography. As a setup of holography, we focus on the asymptotic symmetry, recover the…

Using a D0-brane as a probe, we study the spacetime geometry in the neighborhood of N D-branes in matrix theory. We find that due to fermionic zero modes, the coordinates of the probe in the transverse directions are noncommutative, and the…

We discuss the nonabelian world-volume action which governs the dynamics of N coincident Dp-branes. In this theory, the branes' transverse displacements are described by matrix-valued scalar fields, and so this is a natural physical…
