Probing F-theory With Multiple Branes
Michael R. Douglas, David A. Lowe, John H. Schwarz
We study multiple 3-branes on an F theory orientifold. The world-volume theory of the 3-branes is d=4, N=2 Sp(2k) gauge theory with an antisymmetric tensor and four flavors of matt…
Gauge-Invariant and Gauge-Fixed D-Brane Actions
Mina Aganagic, Costin Popescu, John H. Schwarz
The first part of this paper presents actions for Dirichlet p-branes embedded in a flat 10-dimensional space-time. The fields of the (p+1)-dimensional world-volume theories are the…
D-Brane Actions with Local Kappa Symmetry
Mina Aganagic, Costin Popescu, John H. Schwarz
We formulate world-volume actions that describe the dynamics of Dirichlet p-branes in a flat 10d background. The fields in these theories consist of the 10d superspace coordinates…
Interacting Chiral Gauge Fields in Six Dimensions and Born-Infeld Theory
Malcolm Perry, John H. Schwarz
Dimensional reduction of a self-dual tensor gauge field in 6d gives an Abelian vector gauge field in 5d. We derive the conditions under which an interacting 5d theory of an Abelian…
The Second Superstring Revolution
John H. Schwarz
Recent developments in superstring theory have led to major advances in understanding. After reviewing where things stood earlier, we sketch the impact of recently identified duali…
Lectures on Superstring and M Theory Dualities
John H. Schwarz
These lectures begin by reviewing the evidence for S duality of the toroidally compactified heterotic string in 4d that was obtained in the period 1992--94. Next they review recent…
