We obtain the supergravity solution which describes a bound state of D-string/anti-D-string pairs attached to different fixed planes of an orbifold, in type IIB string theory compactified on T^4/Z_2. For parameters at which the conformal…

We generalize the idea of boundary states to open string channel. They describe the emission and absorption of the open string in the presence of intersecting D-branes. We study the algebra between such states under the star products of…

We study a particular class of D-brane bound states in type IIB string theory (dubbed "superstrata") that describe microstates of the 5D Strominger-Vafa black hole. By using the microscopic description in terms of open strings we probe…

Polchinski's recent construction of Dirichlet-branes of R-R charges, together with Witten's mechanism for forming bound states of both NS-NS charges and R-R charges, provides a rigorous method to treat these dy-branes. We construct the…

We study the stability of a special form of D brane embedding which is regarded as a bound state of D$_n$ and anti-D$_n$-brane embedded in a 10D supergravity background which is dual to a confining gauge theory. For D5 branes with $U(1)$…

We study several different kinds of bound states built from D-branes and orientifolds. These states are to atoms what branonium - the bound state of a brane and its anti-brane - is to positronium, inasmuch as they typically involve a light…

We investigate the Gregory-Laflamme instability for bound states of branes in type II string theory and in M-theory. We examine systems with two different constituent branes: for instance, D3-F1 or D4-D0. For the cases in which the…

In a tachyon model proposed by Minahan and Zwiebach and derived in the boundary string field theory, we construct various new solutions which correspond to nontrivial brane configurations in string theory. Our solutions include Dp-D(p-2)…

The D-brane spectrum of a $\Zop_2\times\Zop_2$ Calabi-Yau three-fold orbifold of toroidally compactified Type IIA and Type IIB string theory is analysed systematically. The corresponding K-theory groups are determined and complete agreement…

In type-II string theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds, topological string theory partition functions give a class of exact F-terms in the four-dimensional effective action. We point out that in the background of constant…

We describe how the D-brane spectra of the various ten-dimensional string theories can be related to general properties of the open-closed duality, encoded in the $S$ and $P$ matrices of the conformal field theory. We also complete the…

We study D-branes on Calabi-Yau manifolds, carrying charges which are torsion elements of the K-theory. Interesting physics ensues when we follow these branes into nongeometrical phases of the compactification. On the level of K-theory, we…

We study some configurations of brane probes which are partially wrapped on spheres transverse to a stack of non-threshold bound states. The latter are represented by the corresponding supergravity background. Two cases are studied:…

We calculate the potential between two different stationary D-branes and the velocity dependent potential between two different moving D-branes. We identify configurations with some unbroken supersymmetry, using a zero force condition. The…

In this paper we study half-supersymmetric (D6,D8) bound state brane configuration of massive type IIA supergravity. We show that this bound state can also be generated by using massive T-duality rules of type-II supergravities in D=9,…

We consider the spectrum of open strings for non-BPS D-brane configuration in type II string theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold. In general, there is no degeneracy between bosonic and fermionic states. However we find special values for the…

We explore a particular approach to study D-brane boundary states in Berkovits' pure spinor formalism of superstring theories. In this approach one constructs the boundary states in the relevant conformal field theory by relaxing the pure…

We study D-branes in the extended geometry appearing in exceptional field theory (or exceptional generalised geometry). Starting from the exceptional sigma model (an $E_{d(d)}$ covariant worldsheet action with extra target space…

The spectrum of D2-branes wrapped on an ALE space of general ADE type is determined, by representing them as boundary states of N=2 superconformal minimal models. The stable quantum states have RR charges which precisely represent the gauge…

Non-BPS D-branes are difficult to describe covariantly in a manifestly supersymmetric formalism. For definiteness we concentrate on type IIB string theory in flat background in light-cone Green-Schwarz formalism. We study both the boundary…
