abstract
Born-Infeld theory admits finite energy point particle solutions with $\delta$-function sources, BIons. I discuss their role in the theory of Dirichlet $p$-branes as the ends of strings intersecting the brane when the effects of gravity are ignored. There are also topologically non-trivial electrically neutral catenoidal solutions looking like two $p$-branes joined by a throat. The general solution is a non-singular deformation of the catenoid if the charge is not too large and a singular deformation of the BIon solution for charges above that limit. The intermediate solution is BPS and Coulomb-like. Performing a duality rotation we obtain monopole solutions, the BPS limit being a solution of the abelian Bogolmol'nyi equations. The situation closely resembles that of sub and super extreme black-brane solutions of the supergravity theories. I also show that certain special Lagrangian submanifolds of ${\Bbb C}^p$, $p=3,4,5$, may be regarded as supersymmetric configurations consisting of $p$-branes at angles joined by throats which are the sources of global monopoles. Vortex solutions are also exhibited.

The Euler-Heisenberg action for a $U(1)\times U(1)$ dyon quantum electrodynamics
One-loop Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian for U(1)×U(1) dyon QED produces hybrid refractive indices and vacuum birefringence that reduce exactly to ordinary QED when magnetic charge vanishes.

Defrosting the Born-Infeld dyonic frozen star with tachyon matter: spectrum of oscillations
A Born-Infeld Lagrangian with electric, magnetic, and tachyon charges reproduces the slow, long-lived oscillation spectrum of the defrosted frozen star.

Formation of Frozen Stars from collapsing matter by tunneling
By Euclidean path-integral methods, the authors claim the tunneling probability from a collapsing shell into a frozen star is unity, making the transition inevitable.

On the Underlying Nonrelativistic Nature of Relativistic Holography
Standard AdS/CFT duality is reinterpreted as D-brane/black-brane duality in nonrelativistic D3-brane theory, with AdS5×S5 as a relativistic bubble in flat 3-Newton-Cartan geometry.

Tachyonic AdS/QCD, Determining the Strong Running Coupling and \beta-function in both UV and IR Regions of AdS Space
A tachyonic AdS/QCD construction deforms the bulk geometry with a tachyon-dependent dielectric function to produce a unified running coupling from perturbative UV to nonperturbative IR regimes.
