Accelerating Branes and the String/Black Hole Transition
David Kutasov
String theory in Euclidean flat space with a spacelike linear dilaton contains a D1-brane which looks like a semi-infinite hairpin. In addition to its curved shape, this ``hairpin…

A Geometric Interpretation of the Open String Tachyon
D. Kutasov
Unstable, non-BPS D-branes in weakly coupled ten dimensional string theory have many mysterious properties. Among other things, it is not clear what sets their tension, what is the…

D-Brane Dynamics Near NS5-Branes
D. Kutasov
We use the Dirac-Born-Infeld action to study the real time dynamics of a -brane propagating in the vicinity of -branes. This problem is closely related to tachyon condensa…
