We study supergravity solutions representing D3-branes with transverse 6-space having R x S^2 x S^3 topology. We consider regular and fractional D3-branes on a natural one-parameter extensions of the standard Calabi-Yau metrics on the…

We propose a class of AdS/CFT dual pairs which have small internal dimensions on the gravity side. Starting from known Freund-Rubin AdS/CFT dual pairs, we use 7-branes to nearly cancel the curvature energy of the internal dimensions while…

Effective field theories in type I and II superstring theories for D-branes located at points in the orbifold C^2/Z_n are supersymmetric gauge theories whose field content is conveniently summarized by a `quiver diagram,' and whose…

We show that K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities along simple normal crossing (SNC) divisors define RCD spaces, both in the compact setting and in certain non-compact cases, thereby producing many examples of Einstein RCD…

We show that the large $N$ limit of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravity on the product of Anti-deSitter spacetimes, spheres and other compact manifolds. This…

This thesis is devoted to the study of geometric aspects of black holes and integrable structures in string theory. In the first part, symmetries of the horizon and its bulk extension will be investigated. We investigate the horizon…

We obtain the Killing equations and the corresponding infinitesimal isometries for the ten dimensional space generated by a large number of coincident D3-branes. In a convenient limit this space becomes an $AdS_5\times S^5$ which is…

We compute the contribution of Euclidean D-branes in type IIB string theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds to the metric on the hypermultiplet moduli space in the large volume, weak coupling limit. Our results are in perfect agreement with the…

A flat 3-brane probing a five dimensional anti-de Sitter space has the same symmetries and symmetry breaking pattern as one probing a five dimensional de Sitter space with two time directions. Despite the seemingly different physical set…

This paper lays groundwork for the detailed study of the non-trivial renormalization group flow connecting supersymmetric fixed points in four dimensions using string theory on AdS spaces. Specifically, we consider D3-branes placed at…

The derivative expnsion in the context of IIB string scattering compactified on non-trivial K3 and other Calabi-Yau manifolds is formulated. The scattering data in terms of automorphic functions can be inverted to find the these metrics.…

D3-brane solutions of type IIB supergravity can be obtained by means a classical ansatz involving a harmonic warp factor and two summands, the first being the flat Minkowskian metric of the D3 brane world-sheet and the second a Ricci flat…

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 derive the rules to construct type IIB compact orientifolds in six and four dimensions including D-branes and anti-D-branes. Even though the models are non-supersymmetric due to the presence of the anti-D-branes, we show that it is easy…

We investigate the classical moduli space of D-branes on a nonabelian Calabi-Yau threefold singularity and find that it admits topology-changing transitions. We construct a general formalism of worldvolume field theories in the language of…

An S-fold has played an important role in constructing supersymmetric field theories with interesting features. It can be viewed as a type of AdS_4 solutions of Type IIB string theory where the fields in overlapping patches are glued by…

We sketch a particularly simple and compelling version of D-brane cosmology. Inspired by the semi-phenomenological Randall--Sundrum models, and their cosmological generalizations, we develop a variant that contains a single…

We study the T duality between a set of type IIB D3 branes atnon-orbifold threefold singularities, and type IIA configurations of D4 branes stretched between relatively rotated NS fivebranes. The four-dimensional N=1 field theories on the…

We describe the construction of string theory models with semirealistic spectrum in a sector of (anti) D3-branes located at an orbifold singularity at the bottom of a highly warped throat geometry, which is a generalisation of the…

We show that the resolution of moduli space of ideal instantons parameterizes the instantons on non-commutative $\IR^{4}$. This moduli space appears as a Higgs branch of the theory of $k$ $D0$-branes bound to $N$ $D4$-branes by the…
