چکیده
Using a formalism developed to include collective coordinates, we calculate the contributions to S-matrix elements due to off-shell D-branes in a string coupling expansion. The formalism is further used to establish a two-dimensional computation of higher order corrections to the D-brane tension, both for the bosonic and the supersymmetric cases.

The 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...
متن کاملSupergravity 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 کاملD-branes of Covariant AdS Superstrings
We consider D-branes of open superstrings in the AdS5 × S background. The possible configurations of D-branes preserving half of supersymmetries are classified by analyzing the κ-invariance of an open superstring in a covariant manner. We also revisit the classification of D-branes in the pp-wave background. It is shown that Penrose limits of the possible D-branes in the AdS5 × S give all of th...
