Lectures on Non-BPS Dirichlet branes
arXiv:hep-th/0005029 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/17/17/304
Abstract
A comprehensive introduction to the boundary state approach to Dirichlet branes is given. Various examples of BPS and non-BPS Dirichlet branes are discussed. In particular, the non-BPS states in the duality of Type IIA on K3 and the heterotic string on T4 are analysed in detail.
