Computation of Superpotentials for D-Branes
Paul S. Aspinwall, Sheldon Katz
We present a general method for the computation of tree-level superpotentials for the world-volume theory of B-type D-branes. This includes quiver gauge theories in the case that t…
D-Branes, Pi-Stability and Theta-Stability
Paul S. Aspinwall
We investigate some aspects of Pi-stability of D-branes on Calabi-Yau threefolds in cases where there is a point in moduli space where the grades nearly or completely align. We pro…
D-Branes on Vanishing del Pezzo Surfaces
Paul S. Aspinwall, Ilarion V. Melnikov
We analyze in detail the case of a marginally stable D-Brane on a collapsed del Pezzo surface in a Calabi-Yau threefold using the derived category of quiver representations and the…
D-Branes on Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Paul S. Aspinwall
In this review we study BPS D-branes on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Such D-branes naturally divide into two sets called A-branes and B-branes which are most easily understood from topol…
