Dirichlet-Branes and Ramond-Ramond Charges
read the original 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
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 ...

Holographic duality from a four-fermion interaction: emergent AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$, D-branes, and Einstein gravity
The bosonic AdS3/CFT2 duality emerges from the Gross-Neveu model via higher-spin composites and fluctuations in competing spin-0 and spin-1 condensates that define the radial bulk coordinate.

MSSM flavors from 7-brane configurations of magnetized SYM on $R^{1,3} \times (T^2)^3/(Z_2 \times Z'_2)$
Magnetized SYM on (T^2)^3/(Z_2 x Z'_2) with 7-branes, fluxes, and Wilson lines produces MSSM chiral fields and semi-realistic hierarchical Yukawas for quarks and leptons.
