Tunneling D0-branes
Chris Pedder
In the D0-D4-brane system, D0-branes do not tunnel. Instead, they form bound states with the D4-brane, whose ground states are exact. However, the D0-brane quantum mechanics contai…

The Geometric Phase and Gravitational Precession of D-Branes
Chris Pedder, Julian Sonner, David Tong
We study Berry's phase in the D0-D4-brane system. When a D0-brane moves in the background of D4-branes, the first excited states undergo a holonomy described by a non-Abelian Berry…

The Geometric Phase in Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
Chris Pedder, Julian Sonner, David Tong
We explore the geometric phase in N=(2,2) supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The Witten index ensures the existence of degenerate ground states, resulting in a non-Abelian Berry con…
