Following is a collection of lecture notes on D-branes, which may be used by the reader as preparation for applications to modern research applications such as: the AdS/CFT and other gauge theory/geometry correspondences, Matrix Theory and stringy non-commutative geometry, etc. In attempting to be reasonably self-contained, the notes start from classical point-particles and develop the subject logically (but selectively) through classical strings, quantisation, D-branes, supergravity, superstrings, string duality, including many detailed applications. Selected focus topics feature D-branes as probes of both spacetime and gauge geometry, highlighting the role of world-volume curvature and gauge couplings, with some non-Abelian cases. Other advanced topics which are discussed are the (presently) novel tools of research such as fractional branes, the enhancon mechanism, D(ielectric)-branes and the emergence of the fuzzy/non-commutative sphere.

  1. Dimensional Reduction and K\"ahler Metric for Metric Moduli in Imaginary Self-Dual Flux

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 10D supergravity reduction derives the 4D moduli space metric for Kähler moduli and, for the first time, for complex structure flat directions in warped type IIB flux compactifications.

  2. Quantum corrections to DGKT and the Weak Gravity Conjecture

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Quantum corrections from gaugino condensation and D2 instantons lift the DGKT D4-brane moduli space, making the branes self-attractive and putting the vacuum in tension with the membrane WGC.
