D-Brane Stability and Monodromy
Paul S. Aspinwall, Michael R. Douglas
We review the idea of Pi-stability for B-type D-branes on a Calabi-Yau manifold. It is shown that the octahedral axiom from the theory of derived categories is an essential ingredi…

Noncommutative Field Theory
Michael R. Douglas, Nikita A. Nekrasov
We review the generalization of field theory to space-time with noncommuting coordinates, starting with the basics and covering most of the active directions of research. Such theo…

D-Branes and N=1 Supersymmetry
Michael R. Douglas
We discuss the recent proposal that BPS D-branes in Calabi-Yau compactification of type II string theory are Pi-stable objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves.
