Études on D–Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a short arrangement of notes on D–branes, offered as an embellishment of five lectures which were presented at the 1998 Trieste Spring School entitled “Non–Perturbative Aspects of String Theory and Supersymmetric Gauge Theory”. There is a good number of collections of pedagogical notes on D–branes in the literature, and since space here is limited, no attempt will be made to cover all of the introductory material again. Instead, the notes cover selected topics and themes in string theory and M–theory, emphasizing how certain technical aspects of D–branes play a role. The subject is developed mainly from the perspective of non–perturbative string theory, touching on aspects of the old matrix model, string duality, the new matrix model, the AdS/CFT correspondence and other gauge theory/geometry correspondences.

Supergravity Solutions for Branes Localized Within Branes
We construct supergravity solutions describing branes (D2-branes or NS 5-branes or waves) localized within D6-branes in the region close to the core of the D6branes. Other similar string-theory and M-theory ‘near-core’ localized solutions can be found by applying U-duality and/or lifting D = 10 solutions to D = 11. In particular, the D2-branes localized on D6-branes is T-dual to a special case ...
متن کاملD-branes in Little String Theory
We analyze in detail the D-branes in the near-horizon limit of NS5-branes on a circle, the holographic dual of little string theory in a double scaling limit. We emphasize their geometry in the background of the NS5-branes and show the relation with D-branes in coset models. The exact one-point function giving the coupling of the closed string states with the D-branes and the spectrum of open s...
متن کاملThe Principle of Least Action and the Geometric Basis of D-branes
We analyze thoroughly the boundary conditions allowed in classical non-linear sigma models and derive from first principle the corresponding geometric objects, i.e. D-branes. In addition to giving classical D-branes an intrinsic and geometric foundation, D-branes in nontrivial H flux and D-branes embedded within D-branes are precisely defined. A well known topological condition on D-branes is r...
