Notes related to the String theory and D-Branes reading group

چکیده
Hopefully I will tex up notes on some of the topics that we cover during our reading group following [1]. I don’t mean to suggest that I will make exhaustive notes or even any notes on most of the discussions. However, I will try and include the important points that we discuss. Other major references were [2, 3] and my notes from [4]. A more technical discussion of the BRST quantisation of a gauge theory is given in [5, 6]. A nice discussion of the operator state correspondence is given in [7]

Études on D–Branes
This is a short arrangement of notes on D–branes, offered as an embellishment of five lectures which were presented at the 1998 Trieste Spring School entitled “Non–Perturbative Aspects of String Theory and Supersymmetric Gauge Theory”. There is a good number of collections of pedagogical notes on D–branes in the literature, and since space here is limited, no attempt will be made to cover all o...
متن کاملIntroduction to D-branes
Dirichlet-branes, or D-branes for short, have moved to center stage in string theory. In a relatively short time they have gone from being esoteric, and largely ignored, extended objects that existed in certain string theories to playing a key role in the present understanding of non-perturbative dynamics and duality in string theory. One reason that the importance of Dbranes was overlooked is ...
متن کاملNotes on D - branes of Type IIB String on AdS 5 × S 5
We promote a study of D-branes of type IIB string on the AdS5 × S 5 background. The possible D-branes preserving half of supersymmetries were classified up to and including the fourth order of fermionic variable θ in our previous work [hep-th/0310228]. In this paper we show that our classification is still valid even at the full order of θ . This proof supplements our previous results and compl...
متن کاملString/M-branes for Relativists
These notes present an introduction to branes in ten and eleven dimensional supergravity and string/M-theory which is geared to an audience of traditional relativists, especially graduate students and others with little background in supergravity. They are designed as a tutorial and not as a thorough review of the subject; as a result, many topics of current interest are not addressed. However,...
متن کاملNotes on D-branes in 2D Type 0 String Theory
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 parameter...
