We revisit some aspects of D-brane theory from the point of view of anomalies. When the
boundary condition on a worldsheet boson is flipped from Neumann to Dirichlet, worldsheet …

We investigate non-extremal D-instantons in an asymptotically AdS 5× S 5 background and
the role they play in the AdS 5/CFT 4 correspondence. We find that the holographic dual …

Standard dilatonic supergravity p-branes have scalar charges that are not independent
parameters but are determined by the brane tension and Page charges. This feature can be …

Recently it has been shown by us that, like BPS Dp branes, bulk gravity gets decoupled from
the brane even for the non-susy Dp branes of type II string theories indicating a possible …

We show that the complete static black p-brane supergravity solution with a single charge
contains two and only two branches with respect to behavior at infinity in the transverse …

We consider a nonsupersymmetric Hanany-Witten type IIB brane configuration that realizes
a three-dimensional US p (2 N) gauge theory with quarks in the two-index antisymmetric …

A bstract We study the graviton scattering in the background of non-susy Dp branes of type II
string theories consisting of a metric, a dilaton and a (p+ 1) form gauge field. We show …

This thesis deals with problems in two subdomains of string theory that are a priori
unrelated, and in the last chapter, links are established between those two. The first topic of …

In this note, we will discuss two aspects of brane–antibrane forces. In one aspect, we
generalize the force calculation of D0-0 of Banks and Susskind to Dp-p for 1⩽ p⩽ 8. In …

Previously, two of the present authors obtained the decoupling limit and the corresponding
throat geometry of non-supersymmetric D3 brane solution of type IIB string theory. In …
