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 …

The geometry of D-branes can be probed by open string scattering. If the background carries
a non-vanishing B-field, the world-volume becomes non-commutative. Here we explore the …

We consider configurations of Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes, Dirichlet fourbranes and an
orientifold sixplane in type IIA string theory. Upon lifting the configuration to M-theory and …

We study the dynamics of D-branes in the near-horizon geometry of NS fivebranes. This
leads to a holographically dual description of the physics of D-branes ending on and/or …

This review is devoted to strings and branes. Firstly, perturbative string theory is introduced.
The appearance of various types of branes is discussed. These include orbifold fixed …

Motivated by recent developments in string theory, we study the structure of boundary
conditions in arbitrary conformal field theories. A boundary condition is specified by two …

We investigate D-branes in orientifolds of WZW models. A connection between the
conformal field theory approach to orientifolds and the target space motivated analysis is …

We analyze unoriented Wess–Zumino–Witten models from a geometrical point of view. We
show that the geometric interpretation of simple current crosscap states is as centre …

We study the geometry of orientifolds in the SU (2) k WZW model. They correspond to the
two inequivalent, orientation-reversing involutions of S3, whose fixed-point sets are: the …
