Asymptotic symmetries of AdS2 Branes
C. Bachas
I analyze the asymptotic symmetries of a theory of gravity in a background consisting of two patches of spacetime glued together along an brane. These a…
D-branes in some near-horizon geometries
C. Bachas
I review some properties of D-branes in the SU(2) and SL(2,R) WZW models. I comment on a potential difficulty for the realization of `warped brane worlds' in string theory. This sh…
String/M theory
C. P. Bachas
This is a brief review of the present status, of some recent developments and of the open challenges in string/M theory.
Lectures on D-branes
Constantin P. Bachas
This is an introduction to the physics of D-branes. Topics covered include Polchinski's original calculation, a critical assessment of some duality checks, D-brane scattering, and…
