Stable non-BPS D-branes and their classical description
M. Bertolini, A. Lerda
We review how to describe the stable non-BPS D-branes of type II string theory from a classical perspective, and discuss the properties of the space-time geometry associated to the…
D-branes in type I string theory
M. Frau, L. Gallot, A. Lerda +1
We review the boundary state description of D-branes in type I string theory and show that the only stable non-BPS configurations are the D-particle and the D-instanton. We also co…
Fractional D-branes and their gauge duals
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +3
We study the classical geometry associated to fractional D3-branes of type IIB string theory on R^4/Z_2 which provide the gravitational dual for N=2 super Yang-Mills theory in four…
Is a classical description of stable non-BPS D-branes possible?
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +3
We study the classical geometry produced by a stack of stable (i.e. tachyon free) non-BPS D-branes present in K3 compactifications of type II string theory. This classical represen…
Stable non-BPS D-branes of type I
M. Frau, L. Gallot, A. Lerda +1
We review the boundary state description of the non-BPS D-branes in the type I string theory and show that the only stable configurations are the D-particle and the D-instanton. We…
Gauge and gravitational interactions of non-BPS D-particles
L. Gallot, A. Lerda, P. Strigazzi
We study the gauge and gravitational interactions of the stable non-BPS D-particles of the type I string theory. The gravitational interactions are obtained using the boundary stat…
