Nahm's equations, domain walls, and D-strings in
C. Bachas, J. Hoppe, B. Pioline
We consider the following two problems: classical domain walls in the mass deformation of the maximally supersymmetric Yang Mills theory, and D-strings as external magnetic…
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.
Flux Stabilization of D-branes
C. Bachas, M. Douglas, C. Schweigert
We explain how D-branes on group manifolds are stabilized against shrinking by quantized worldvolume U(1) fluxes. Starting from the Born-Infeld action in the case of the SU(2) grou…
Scales of String Theory
C. Bachas
I review the arguments in favor of/against the traditional hypothesis that the Planck, string and compactification scales are all within a couple of orders of magnitude from each o…
