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…

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…
