چکیده
We construct quantum mechanical models which mimic many features of string theory. We use these models to gain improved descriptions of B fields and gerbes. We examine the analogs of T duality, D branes, and mirror symmetry in these models and derive quantum mechanical analogs of standard phenomena, such as the noncommutative geometry induced by a B field.

We represent B fields and higher p-form potentials on a manifold M as connections on affine bundles over M . We realize D branes on M as special submanifolds of these affine bundles. We check the physical relevance of this representation by showing that the properties of the resulting branes closely correspond to those of their string theory counterparts. As a simple application of this geometr...

We investigate the Penrose limits of classical string and M-theory backgrounds. We prove that the number of (super)symmetries of a supergravity background never decreases in the limit. We classify all the possible Penrose limits of AdS ×S spacetimes and of supergravity brane solutions. We also present the Penrose limits of various other solutions: intersecting branes, supersymmetric black holes...

The aim of these lectures is to give a brief introduction to brane cosmology. After introducing some basic geometrical notions, we discuss the cosmology of a brane universe with matter localized on the brane. Then we introduce an intrinsic curvature scalar term in the bulk action, and analyze the cosmology of this induced gravity. Finally we present the cosmology of a moving brane in the backgr...

We consider type IIA string theory on a Calabi-Yau 2-fold with D6branes wrapping 2-cycles in the 2-fold. We find a complete set of conditions on the supergravity solution for any given wrapped brane configuration in terms of SU(2) structures. We reduce the problem of finding a supergravity solution for the wrapped branes to finding a harmonic function on R×CY2. We then lift this solution to 11-...

Multidimensional model describing the " cosmological " and/ or spherically symmetric configuration with (n + 1) Einstein spaces in the theory with several scalar fields and forms is considered. When electromagnetic composite p-brane ansatz is adopted, n " internal " spaces are Ricci-flat, one space M 0 has a non-zero curvature, and all p-branes do not " live " in M 0 , a class of exact solution...
