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…

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.

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…
