Stable non-BPS D-branes and their classical description
arXiv:hep-th/0012169 · doi:10.1002/1521-3978(200105)49:4/6<441::AID-PROP441>3.3.CO;2-P
Abstract
We review how to describe the stable non-BPS D-branes of type II string theory from a classical perspective, and discuss the properties of the space-time geometry associated to these configurations. This is relevant in order to see whether and how the gauge/gravity correspondence can be formulated in non-conformal and non-supersymmetric settings.
