Return of the Torsion D-Branes
Ilka Brunner, Jacques Distler, Rahul Mahajan
We study D-branes on Calabi-Yau manifolds, carrying charges which are torsion elements of the K-theory. Interesting physics ensues when we follow these branes into nongeometrical p…
The Supersymmetric Standard Model
J. Louis, I. Brunner, S. Huber
This set of lectures introduces at an elementary level the supersymmetric Standard Model and discusses some of its phenomenological properties. (Lectures given by J. Louis at the s…
Six-Dimensional Fixed Points from Branes
Ilka Brunner, Andreas Karch
We review the construction of six dimensional N=1 fixed points in a brane picture involving D6 branes stretching between NS 5 branes.
Matrix Theory and the Six Torus
Ilka Brunner, Andreas Karch
We review the problems associated with Matrix compactifications on T^6.
Entropy of bound states in the matrix description of M5-branes
Klaus Behrndt, Ilka Brunner
Like the M-theory itself also the worldvolume theory of the M5-brane contains brane excitations, which can be extracted from the supersymmetry algebra. Bound states (intersecting b…
