String bits and the Myers effect
Pedro J. Silva
Based on the non-abelian effective action for D1-branes, a new action for matrix string theory in non-trivial backgrounds is proposed. Once the background fields are included, new…
Obstruction to D-brane topology change
Garnik G. Alexanian, A. P. Balachandran, Pedro J. Silva
A study of the relation between topology change, energy and Lie algebra representations for fuzzy geometry in connection to -theory is presented. We encounter two different type…
Stabilization of Hyperbolic Brane-World Scenarios
Pedro J. Silva
In this talk we consider the issue of stabilization of compact hyperbolic brane-world scenarios from the point of view of 4-dimensional effective theories. The idea is to clarify t…
Dielectric branes and spontaneous symmetry breaking
Cesar Gomez, Bert Janssen, Pedro J. Silva
A stable non-commutative solution with symmetry breaking is presented for a system of Dp-branes in the presence of a RR (p+5)-form.
T-duality and Gauge Theories from Near Horizon Dp-branes
Pedro J. Silva
We study the significance of T-duality in the context of the gravitational description of gauge theories. We found that T-duality relates the deferents points of the moduli of a gi…
T-duality and The Gravitational Description Of Gauge Theories
Cesar Gomez, Pedro J. Silva
This is a review of some basic features on the relation between supergravity and pure gauge theories with special emphasis on the relation between T-duality and supersymmetry. Some…
