abstract

We show that Dirichlet-branes, extended objects defined by mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions in string theory, break half of the supersymmetries of the type~II superstring and carry a complete set of electric and magnetic Ramond-Ramond charges. We also find that the product of the electric and magnetic charges is a single Dirac unit, and that the quantum of charge takes the value required by string duality. This is strong evidence that the Dirchlet-branes are intrinsic to type II string theory and are the Ramond-Ramond sources required by string duality. We also note the existence of a previously overlooked 9-form potential in the IIa string, which gives rise to an effective cosmological constant of undetermined magnitude.

Gauge Theory Correlators from Non-Critical String Theory

hep-th · 1998-02-16 · unverdicted · novelty 9.0

Gauge theory correlators in 3+1D N=4 SYM with large N are obtained from the supergravity action on the AdS boundary, with anomalous dimensions for massive string modes growing as 2(n g_YM sqrt(2N))^{1/2} at strong 't Hooft coupling.

All the D-Branes of Resurgence

hep-th · 2023-01-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Negative-tension ZZ-branes are required by resurgence to build complete transseries for minimal-string free energies, with analytic Stokes data and extensions to JT gravity and other string models.

Penrose limits and TsT for fibered $I$-branes

hep-th · 2025-10-28 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Analyzes TsT deformations and Penrose limits on fibered I-branes from prior work, finding preserved solvability when TsT precedes the limit and new asymptotically free or parallelizable sectors in the reverse order.
