Unwinding strings and T-duality of Kaluza-Klein and H-Monopoles
read the original abstract
A fundamental string with non-zero winding number can unwind in the presence of a Kaluza-Klein monopole. We use this fact to deduce the presence of a zero mode for the Kaluza-Klein monopole corresponding to excitations carrying H electric charge and we study the coupling of this zero mode to fundamental strings. We also a describe a T-dual process in which the momentum of a fundamental string ``unwinds'' in the presence of a H monopole. We use the coupling of string winding modes to the dyon collective coordinate of the Kaluza-Klein monopole to argue that there are stringy corrections to the Kaluza-Klein monopole which are in accordance with T-duality.

A class of half-BPS boundary conditions for $A_{K-1}$ circular quivers
Characterizes solutions to BPS equations for D4-branes ending on boundary D6-branes in A_{K-1} circular quivers, finding a winding phenomenon absent in linear quivers and proposing the maximal-winding case as S-dual t...
