Novel theories appear on the world-volume of branes by orienting B fields along various directions of the branes. We review some of the earlier developments and explore many new examples of these theories. In particular, among other things,…
Branes in non-trivial backgrounds are expected to exhibit interesting dynamical properties. We use the boundary conformal field theory approach to study branes in a curved background with non-vanishing Neveu-Schwarz 3-form field strength.…
We compute the quantum fluctuations of a 3-brane with tension, energy density and stiffness. As a result of the fluctuations there are induced forces between massive objects living on the brane. We study various limiting cases of the…
We compute the D-brane tensions in the type IIA plane-wave background by comparing the interaction potential between widely separated D-branes in string theory with the supergravity mode exchange between the D-branes. We found that the…
The conditions of the traversable wormhole joining with the exterior space-time are considered in details and the mixed boundary problem for the Einstein equations is formulated. It is shown that, in opposite to some declarations, the…
We derive the noncommutative torus compactification of M(atrix) theory directly from the string theory by imposing mixed boundary conditions on the membranes. The relation of various dualities in string theory and M(atrix) theory…
Couplings between a closed string RR field and open strings are calculated in a system of coincident branes and antibranes of type II theory. The result can be written cleanly using the curvature of the superconnection.
We consider a dynamical brane world in a six dimensional spacetime containing a singularity. Using the Israel conditions we study the motion of a 4-brane embedded in this setup. We analize the brane behavior when its position is perturbed…
In this thesis we will discuss various aspects of noncommutative geometry and compactified Little-String theories. First we will give an introduction to the use of noncommutative geometry in string theory. Thereafter we will present a proof…
We emphasize the necessity of a delicate interplay between the gauge and gravitational sectors of five-dimensional brane worlds in creating phenomenologically relevant vacua. We discuss locally supersymmetric brane worlds with unflipped and…
A `reduced' action formulation for a general class of the supergravity solutions, corresponding to the `marginally' bound `distributed' systems of various types of branes at arbitrary angles, is developed. It turns out that all the…
From the requirement of continuous matching of bulk metric around the point of brane collision we derive a conservation law for collisions of p-branes in (p+2)-dimensional space-time. This conservation law relates energy densities on the…
We present a class of spacetime rotations that preserve a proportion of spacetime supersymmetry. We then give the rules for superposing these rotations with various branes to construct rotating brane solutions which preserve exotic…
In this note we analyse the dynamical potential of a system of four $Dp$-branes at arbitrary angles. The equilibrium configurations for various values of the relative angles and distances among branes are discussed. The known configurations…
In the conventional $p$-brane theory, a gauge ($p+1$)-form field $\phi^{(p+1)}$ mediates the interaction between $p$-branes, which is gauge invariant in the sense $\phi^{(p+1)}\to \phi^{(p+1)}+d\Lambda^{(p)}$ with $\Lambda^{(p)}$, an…
The bounded orbital motion of a massive spinless test particle in the background of a Kerr Brans-Dicke geometry is analysed in terms of worldlines that are auto-parallels of different metric compatible spacetime connections. In one case the…
We give a model-independent derivation of general intersecting rules for spacelike branes (S-branes) in arbitrary dimensions $d$. This is achieved by directly solving bosonic field equations for supergravity coupled to a dilaton and…
We derive the dynamics of M-brane intersections from the worldvolume action of one brane in the background supergravity solution of another one. In this way we obtain an effective action for the self-dual string boundary of an M2-brane in…
This work reports on models described by two real scalar fields coupled with gravity in the five-dimensional spacetime, with a warped geometry involving one infinite extra dimension. Through a mechanism that smoothly changes a thick brane…
In this review branes of string theory are described from three different perspectives: as endpoints of open string, as supergravity backgrounds with BPS properties, as dynamical objects with gauge invariant actions. Based on these…
