We find out a PP-wave spacetime with constant Neveu-Schwarz (NS) three form flux by taking a Penrose limit on the 1+1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory. We further find out an intersecting (D1-D5)-brane solution in this background and analyze its supersymmetry properties by solving the dilatino and gravitino variations explicitly.

In this short note we will construct the static solutions on the world volume of D1-brane embedded in I-brane background.
In this short note we formulate Covariant Hamiltonian formalism for strings, p-branes and Non-BPS Dp-branes. We also analyse the vacuum tachyon condensation in case of unstable D1-brane.
In this short note we study null dimensional reduction of M5-brane covariant action. We analyse longitudinal dimensional reduction that leads to non-relativistic D4-brane and transverse reduction that leads to NS5-brane in non-relativistic string theory.
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 of parallel branes and brane-antibranes are obtained at extrema of the dynamical potential.
We study Lorentzian D-particles in linear dilaton and the two dimensional black hole backgrounds. The D-particle trajectory follows an accelerated trajectory which is smeared by stringy corrections. For the black hole background we find that the portion of the trajectory behind the horizon appears to an asymptotic observer as ghost D-particle. This suggests a way of constructing a matrix model for the Lorentzian black hole background.
A brane world in the presence of a bulk black hole is constructed. The brane tension is fine tuned in terms of the black hole mass and cosmological constant. Gravitational perturbations localized on the brane world are discussed.
This paper is devoted to the construction of stable and unstable Dp-branes in generalized Carroll space-times. We also study tachyon solutions on the world-volume of unstable Dp-brane in Carrollian background and discuss their physical interpretations.
The M-theory origin of brane creation processes is discussed.
We present new time dependent solutions for the dynamics of tubular D2-branes. We comment on the connection to cosmic string dynamics and explicitly give a few simple examples of oscillating and rotating brane configurations.
We calculate the degree of horizon smoothness of multi- $M2$-brane solution with branes along a common axis. We find that the metric is generically only thrice continuously differentiable at any of the horizons. The four-form field strength is found to be only twice continuously differentiable. We work with Gaussian null-like co-ordinates which are obtained by solving geodesic equations for multi-$M2$ brane geometry. We also find different, exact co-ordinate transformations which take the metric from isotropic co-ordinates to co-ordinates in which metric is thrice differentiable at the horizon…
This short note emphasises a potential tension between string models of inflation based on systems of branes and antibranes and the spectrum of strings in curved space, in particular the requirement that the leading Regge trajectory extends to the Planck scale allowing for the conventional string theory UV completion of gravity.
In this paper we will consider the dynamics of BPS and non-BPS Dp-branes in the background of N Dk-branes. Our approach is based on an existence of the new symmetry of D-brane effective actions that naturally emerges in the near horizon region of the stack of N Dk-branes. Since generally this scaling symmetry is explicitly broken in the Lagrangian we will find the equation that determines the time evolution of the generator of this transformations. Then we will argue that in case when the tachyon living on the worldvolume of unstable D-brane reaches the stable minimum the time evolution of thi…
Using the nonabelian Dirac-Born-Infeld action with the Wess-Zumino term that is constructed in consistent with T duality we examine the Myers dielectric effect for multiple D0-branes in the near-horizon geometry of D4-branes. The effect in the curved spacetime is also confirmed by the dual formulation based on the abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld action of a D2-brane. Putting a system of muliple D-strings in the external electric RR five-form flux, we construct a noncommutative non-BPS solution where the D-strings expand into a spherical D3-brane. We discuss the external field dependence of the funne…
A first order formulation for the Maxwell field in five dimensions is dimensionally reduced using the Randall-Sundrum mechanism. We will see that massive photons can not be localized on the brane.
I review some properties of D-branes in the SU(2) and SL(2,R) WZW models. I comment on a potential difficulty for the realization of `warped brane worlds' in string theory. This short note is based on a talk given at the Strings'01 conference in Mumbay.
We construct non-relativistic string and p-brane actions in Newton-Cartan background using the limiting procedure from the relativistic string and p-brane action in general background. We also find their Hamiltonian formulations when however we restrict ourselves to the case of the vanishing gauge field.
We consider a brane world residing in the interior region inside the horizon of the D3-brane. The horizon size then can be interpreted as the compactification size. The macroscopically large size of extra dimensions can be derived from the underlying string theory that has only one physical scale, {\it i.e.,} the string scale. Then, the hierarchy between the string scale and the Planck scale is provided by Ramon-Ramon charge of the D3-brane. This picture also offers a new perspective on various issues associated with the brane world scenarios including the cosmological constant.
This paper is devoted to the study of the Hamiltonian dynamics of string in non-relativistic D3-brane background. We discuss different gauge fixing functions and construct corresponding gauge fixed Hamiltonians.
We use the nonabelian action of N coincident D(-1) branes in constant background fields, in the N $\to \infty$ limit, to construct noncommutative D-brane actions in an arbitrary noncommutative description and comment on tachyon condensation from this perspective.
By working with the free energy for the type II supergravity near-horizon solution of N coincident non-extremal Dp-branes we study the transitions among the non-conformal Dp-brane system, the perturbative super Yang-Mills theory and a certain system associated with M theory. We derive a relation between this free energy and the action of a Dp-brane probe in the N Dp-brane background. Constructing the free energy for the five dimensional black hole labeled by the D1-brane and D5-brane charges we find the similar relation between it and the action of a D1 or D5 brane probe in the D1 + D5 brane b…
Recently Verlinde proposed that gravity is an entropic force caused by information changes when a material body moves away from the holographic screen. In this note we apply this argument to brane cosmology, and show that the cosmological equation can be derived from this holographic scenario.
We determine (p,q)-string and (p,q)-five brane solutions of type IIB supergravity using SL(2,Z)-symmetry of the full type IIB superstring theory. We also determine SL(2,Z)-transformed solution corresponding to the bound state of NS5-branes and fundamental strings. Then we analyze its near horizon limit and we show that it leads to the AdS(3)xS(3) with mixed fluxes.
We consider the heterotic string on an elliptic Calabi-Yau three-fold with five-branes wrapping curves in the base ('horizontal' curves) of the Calabi-Yau as well as some elliptic fibers ('vertical' curves). We show that in this generalized set-up, where the association of the heterotic side with the $F$-theory side is changed relative to the purely vertical situation, the number of five-branes wrapping the elliptic fibers still matches the corresponding number of $F$-theory three-branes.
We investigate the correspondence between the D2-brane, which is described by the abelian Born-Infeld action, and multiple D0-branes, which are done by the nonabelian Born-Infeld action. We construct effective actions for the fuzzy cylinder, sphere and plane formed via D0-branes and compare these actions with those for the cylindrical, spherical and planar D2-brane. We show that in the continuous limit, the effective actions for the fuzzy D0-branes precisely coincide with those for the single D2-brane if both the fuzziness of the D0-brane and the area occupied per a unit of magnetic flux on th…
In this short note we will study effective action for unstable D-brane in linear dilaton background. We will solve the equation of motion for large T and we will calculate the stress energy tensor. Then we compare our results with the calculations performed using exact conformal field theory description of the open string worldsheet theory.
We refine a previous proposal for obtaining the multi-instanton partition function from the supersymmetric index of the 1d supersymmetric gauge theory on the worldline of D0-branes. We provide examples where the refinements are crucial for obtaining the correct result.
We describe a way to compute scattering amplitudes in M(atrix) quantum mechanics, that involve the transverse five-brane. We then compute certain scattering processes and show that they have the expected SO(5) invariance, give the correct transverse-five-brane mass, and agree with the supergravity result.
In this paper, we will consider the chiral symmetry breaking in the holographic model constructed from the intersecting brane configuration, and investigate the Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated with this symmetry breaking.
We propose an action for unstable Dp-brane with dynamical tension. We show that the equations of motion are equivalent to the equations of motion derived from DBI and WZ actions for non-BPS Dp-brane. We also find Hamiltonian formulation of this action and analyze properties of the solutions corresponding to the tachyon vacuum and zero tension solution.
The algebraic definition of charges for symmetry-preserving D-branes in Wess-Zumino-Witten models is shown to coincide with the geometric definition, for all simple Lie groups. The charge group for such branes is computed from the ambiguities inherent in the geometric definition.
We derive the generalized Friedmann equation governing the cosmological evolution inside the thick brane model in the presence of two curvature correction terms: a four-dimensional scalar curvature from induced gravity on the brane, and a five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet curvature term. We find two effective four-dimensional reductions of the Friedmann equation in some limits and demonstrate that they can be rewritten as the first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon of thick braneworld.
We study a Hanany-Witten set-up relevant to N = 2 superconformal field theories. We find the exact near-horizon solution for this 11-dimensional system which involves intersecting M5-branes. The metric describes a warped product of AdS_5 with a manifold with SU(2) x U(1) isometry.
We first investigate intersections of an S-brane with a single p-brane and show that in addition to the already known solutions, it is possible to place the S-brane so that the radial part of the p-brane is not included in its worldvolume. This leads to a new set of solutions. Secondly, we consider intersections of an S-brane with a supersymmetric Dp_1-Dp_2 intersection and find the list of allowed solutions for both positions of the S-brane. Among them there are D1-D5-S1 and D1-D5-S5 intersections which might be appropriate for studying time dependent AdS/CFT correspondence.
We construct an action for unstable M3-brane in M-theory. We argue that in order to find M3-brane action that upon direct dimensional reduction leads to non-BPS D3-brane action in type IIA theory we have to presume that the background possesses Killing isometry and that this isometry has to be gauged on the world-volume of M3-brane. Then we construct singular tachyon kink on world-volume of M3-brane and we show that the dynamics of resulting topological defect is governed by an action that upon direct dimensional reduction leads to D2-brane in type IIA theory and that is equivalent to standard…
In this thesis I present a new type of brane - H-brane - where the role of time in String Theory is considered as a primary concept in the search for still unknown black hole physics. Using the basic tools of boundary conformal field theory, we describe the H-branes both in the open and closed string channels and examine how they fit naturally in the known D-brane moduli space. In particular we compute their Ishibashi states and quantize the system using the first order formalism. We find that the geometry associated to the target null coordinates is non-commutative.
We study the dyon electric charge of D6-branes as eleven dimensional KK-monopoles. We observe that the dyon charge is intimately related with the existence of gauge connections and antisymmetric fields on the brane world volume.
We continue an examination of the microstate geometries program begun in arXiv:1409.6017, focussing on the role of branes that wrap the cycles which degenerate when a throat in the geometry deepens and a horizon forms. An associated quiver quantum mechanical model of minimally wrapped branes exhibits a non-negligible fraction of the gravitational entropy, which scales correctly as a function of the charges. The results suggest a picture of AdS_3/CFT_2 duality wherein the long string that accounts for BTZ black hole entropy in the CFT description, can also be seen to inhabit the horizon of BPS …
In hep-th/0412322, Gaiotto, Strominger and Yin proposed a novel way of counting black hole microstates by counting the quantum mechanical ground states of probe branes placed in the near-horizon black hole background. We discuss the generalization of this proposal to the case of two-charge D0-D4 `small' black holes in type IIA. We also describe the construction of BPS D-brane probes in the near-horizon region of the 2-charge D1-D5 system in type IIB. Based on hep-th/0505176, hep-th/0607150.
We show a duality of branes in the topological B-model by inserting two kinds of the non-compact branes simultaneously. We explicitly derive the integral formula for the matrix model partition function describing this situation, which correspondingly includes both of the characteristic polynomial and the external source. We show that these two descriptions are dual to each other through the Fourier transformation, and the brane partition function satisfies integrable equations in one and two dimensions.
We show that the gauge, gravitational (tangent-bundle) and their mixed anomalies arising from the localized modes near a 5-brane in the SO(32) heterotic string theory cancel with the anomaly inflow from the bulk with the use of the Green-Schwarz mechanism on the brane, similarly to the E_8 x E_8 5-brane case. We also compare our result with Mourad's analysis performed in the small-instanton limit.
We point out that some M-theory results for brane tension can be derived from Polchinski's formula for D-brane tension. We also argue that this formula determines gravitational and gauge couplings in the low energy but quantum exact effective action.
It is known that there exist two different classes of time dependent solutions in the form of space-like (or S)-branes in the low energy M/string theory. Accelerating cosmologies are known to arise from S-branes in one class, but not in the other where the time-like holography in the dS/CFT type correspondence may be more transparent. We show how the accelerating cosmologies arise from S-branes in the other class. Although we do not get the de Sitter structure in the lowest order supergravity, the near `horizon' ($t\to 0$) limits of these S-branes are the generalized Kasner metric.
Gauging the M-2-brane effective action with respect to an Abelian isometry in such a way that the invariance under gauge transformations of the 3-form potential is maintained (slightly modified) we obtain a fully covariant action with 11-dimensional target space that gives the massive D-2-brane effective action upon dimensional reduction in the direction of the gauged isometry.
In this work we study asymmetric thick braneworld scenarios, generated after adding a constant to the superpotential associated to the scalar field. We study in particular models with odd and even polynomial superpotentials, and we show that asymmetric brane can be generated irrespective of the potential being symmetric or asymmetric. We study in addition the nonpolynomial sine-Gordon-like model, also constructed with the inclusion of a constant in the standard superpotential, and we investigate gravitational stability of the asymmetric brane. The results suggest robustness of the new branewor…
The problem of the M5 brane anomaly cancellation is addressed. We reformulate FHMM construction making explicit the relation with the M5 brane SUGRA solution. We suggest another solution to the magnetic coupling equation which doesn't need anomalous SO(5) variation of the 3-form potential and coincides with the SUGRA solution outside smoothed out core of the magnetic source. Chern-Simons term evaluated on this solution generates the same anomaly inflow as achieved by FHMM.
We compute the vacuum one loop amplitude for two D-strings at an angle compactified on $T^2$ as a function of the transverse separation and the winding numbers. We show that in certain cases the amplitude is independent on whether the D-strings are compactified or not.
We compute the absorption cross section of space-time scalars on a static D2 rane, in global coordinates, wrapped on the S^2 of an AdS_2 X S^2 X CY_3 geometry. We discuss its relevance for the construction of the dual quantum mechanics of Calabi-Yau black holes.
We show that a D-brane in a group manifold given by a (twisted) conjugacy class is characterised by a gauge invariant two-form field determined in terms of the matrix of gluing conditions. Using a quantisation argument based on the path integral one obtains the known quantisation condition for the corresponding D-branes. We find no evidence for the existence of a quantised U(1) gauge field flux. We propose an expression for the D0 charge of such D-branes.
This note covers various aspects of recent attempts to describe membranes ending on fivebranes using fuzzy geometry. In particular, we examine the Basu-Harvey equation and its relation to the Nahm equation as well as the consequences of using a non-associative algebra for the fuzzy three-sphere. This produces the tantalising result that the fuzzy funnel solution corresponding to Q coincident membranes ending on a five-brane has $Q^{3/2}$ degrees of freedom.
A class of Dp and Dp-D(p+4)-brane solutions are constructed in the Penrose limit of the linear-dilaton geometry. The classical solutions are shown to break all space-time supersymmetries. In the worldsheet description, the branes preserve as many supersymmetries as D-branes in flat space. It is shown that these supersymmetries do not have zero modes on the worldsheet and hence do not admit local space-time realizations. This indicates that, unlike the perturbative spectrum, the D-brane spectrum of strings in the linear-dilaton pp-wave is not similar to the flat space case.
We point out that the de Sitter swampland conjecture would be falsified if classical fluxed Type IIA orientifold vacua with a single non-BPS D7-brane were indeed part of the string theory landscape. In other words, the dS swampland conjecture implies the cancellation of K-theory charges on a compact space.
The flux singularity that arise when branes are put in an oppositely charged background is a wildly discussed issue and in this paper the problem is investigated further. New AdS world volume (anti-)M2-brane solutions are constructed by placing the brane in a background where the charge dissolved in the flux is opposite that of the brane. A topological obstruction is derived to show how the singularity develops during localisation of this solution and any similarly constructed solution. Furthermore the singularity is shown not to be possible to hide behind a horizon, which would have given cre…
It has been conjectured that a pair of D5 - anti D5 branes wrapped on some non-trivial two cycle of a Calabi-Yau manifold becomes a stable BPS D3 brane in the presence of a very large B field and magnetic fluxes on their worldvolumes. We discuss this by considering the non-commutative field theory on the worldvolume of the pair of branes whose field multiplication is made with respect to two different * products due to the presence of different F fields on the two branes. The tachyonic field becomes massless for a specific choice of the magnetic fluxes and it allows a trivial solution. Our dis…
We discuss approximations of the Riemannian geometry near the horizon. If a D+1 dimensional manifold N has a bifurcate Killing horizon then we approximate N by a product of the two-dimensional Rindler space and a D-1 dimensional Riemannian manifold M. We obtain approximate formulas for scalar Green functions. We study the behaviour of the Green functions near the horizon and their dimensional reduction. We show that if M is compact then the Green function near the horizon can be approximated by the Green function of a two-dimensional quantum field theory. The correction term is exponentially s…
This is a summary of a series of papers hep-th/9910263,0005283,0010066 written with B. Chen, T. Matsuo and K. Murakami on a p-p', (p<p^{\prime}) open string with B_{ij} field, which has led us to the explicit identification of the Dp-brane with the noncommutative projector soliton via the gaussian damping factor. A lecture given at Summer Institute 2000, FujiYoshida, Yamanashi, Japan, at August 7-14, 2000.
In this paper we construct complete macroscopic operators in two dimensional type 0 string theory. They represent D-branes localized in the time direction. We give another equivalent description of them as deformed Fermi surfaces. We also discuss a continuous array of such D-branes and show that it can be described by a matrix model with a deformed potential. For appropriate values of parameters, we find that it has an additional new sector hidden inside its strongly coupled region.
In 1987 two versions of the brane-scan of D-dimensional super p-branes were put forward. The first pinpointed those (p,D) slots consistent with kappa-symmetric Green-Schwarz type actions; the second generalized the "membrane at the end of the universe" idea to all those superconformal groups describing p-branes on the boundary of AdS_{p+2} x S^{D-p-2}. Although the second version predicted D3 and M5 branes in addition to those of the first, it came unstuck because the 1/2 BPS solitonic branes failed to exhibit the required symmetry enhancement in the near-horizon limit, except in the non-dilat…
We consider N=1 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theories, using the type IIB brane construction recently proposed by Hanany and Zaffaroni. At non-zero string coupling, we find that the bending of branes imposes consistency conditions that allow only non-anomalous gauge theories with stable vacua, i.e., N_f >= N_c, to be constructed. We find qualitative differences between the brane configurations for N_f <= 3N_c and N_f > 3N_c, corresponding to asymptotically free and infrared free theories respectively. We also discuss some properties of the brane configurations that may be relevant to construct…
We promote a study of D-branes of type IIB string on the AdS_5 x S^5 background. The possible D-branes preserving half of supersymmetries were classified up to and including the fourth order of fermionic variable þin our previous work [hep-th/0310228]. In this paper we show that our classification is still valid even at the full order of þ. This proof supplements our previous results and completes the classification of D-branes in the type IIB string theory on the AdS_5 x S^5.
We examine the supersymmetry of classical D-brane and M-brane configurations and explain the dependence of Killing spinors on coordinates. We find that one half supersymmetry is broken in the bulk and that supersymmetry near the D-brane horizon is restored for $p\leq 3$, for solutions in the stringy frame, but only for $p=3$ in the10d canonical frame. We study the enhancement for the case of four intersecting D-3-branes in 10 dimensions and the implication of this for the size of the infinite throat of the near horizon geometry in non-compactified theory. We found some indications of universal…
