: We study the exact construction of D-branes in Lorentzian AdS 3 . We start by defining a family of conformal field theories that gives a natural Euclidean version of the SL(2 , R ) CFT and does not correspond to H +3 , the analytic continuation of AdS 3 . We argue that one can recuperate the exact CFT results of Lorentzian AdS 3 , upon an analytic continuation in the moduli space of these conformal field theories. Then we construct exact boundary states for various symmetric and symmetry…

D1-brane with overcritical electric field in AdS3 and S-brane

We study aspects of Dirichlet S-branes, which are defined as Dirichlet boundary condition on a time like embedding of open strings, in general backgrounds. By applying T-duality along an isometry of…

Emerging AdS from extremally rotating NS5-branes

A defect in AdS3/CFT2 duality

AdS3 string theory in the stringy regime k = (RAdS/ℓs)2< 1 provides a laboratory for the study of holography in which both sides of AdS/CFT duality are under fairly good control. Worldsheet string…

Anti-de Sitter D-branes in curved backgrounds

We investigate the properties of the AdS D1-branes which are the bound states of a curved D1-brane with n fundamental strings (F1) in the AdS3 spacetime, and the AdS D2-branes which are the axially…

Rolling Tachyon in Anti-de Sitter Space-Time

We study the decay of the unstable D-particle in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time using worldsheet boundary conformal field theory methods. We test the open string completeness conjecture…

Two-dimensional views into four-dimensional physics

This habilitation thesis summarizes several research topics in string theory, using the world-sheet two-dimensional perspective as a unifying theme. The first part of this manuscript describes new…

Disk one-point function for a family of non-rational conformal theories

We consider an infinite family of non-rational conformal field theories in the presence of a conformal boundary. These theories, which have been recently proposed in [1], are parameterized by two…

D-branes in a big bang / big crunch universe: Nappi-Witten gauged WZW model

We study D-branes in the Nappi-Witten model, which is a gauged WZW model based on (SL(2,) × SU(2))/(U(1) × U(1)). The model describes a four dimensional space-time consisting of cosmological regions…

Boundary States of D-Branes in AdS3 Based on Discrete Series

We study D-branes in the Lorentzian AdS 3 background from the viewpoint of boundary states, emphasizing the role of open-closed duality in string theory. Employing the world sheet with Lorentzian…

Some remarks on anti-de Sitter D-branes

We present some preliminary investigations about the AdS2 × S2 D3-branes in AdS3 × S3. We analyse the quadratic fluctuations of the Dirac-Born- Infeld action around a given semi-classical D-brane…

Branes in the Euclidean AdS_3

In this work we propose an exact microscopic description of maximally symmetric branes in a Euclidean AdS3 background. As shown by Bachas and Petropoulos, the most important such branes are localized…

Geometrical interpretation of D-branes in gauged WZW models

We show that one can construct D-branes in parafermionic and WZW theories (and their orbifolds) which have very natural geometrical interpretations, and yet are not automatically included in the…

Anti-de Sitter D-branes

We study D-branes of the SL(2,) WZW model and of its discrete orbifolds. Gluing the currents by group automorphisms leads to three types of D-branes: two-dimensional hyperbolic planes (H2), de Sitter…

On the hierarchy of symmetry breaking D-branes in group manifolds

We construct the boundary WZNW functional for symmetry breaking D-branes on a group manifold which are localized along a product of a number of twisted conjugacy classes and which preserve an action…

Branes in the 2 D black hole

We present a comprehensive analysis of branes in the euclidean 2D black hole (cigar). In particular, exact boundary states and annulus amplitudes are provided for D0branes which are localized at the…

Boundary states for D-branes in AdS 3 space

We construct boundary states representing D-strings in $AdS_3$. These wrap twisted conjugacy classes of SL(2,R), and the boundary states are therefore based on continuous representations only. We…

Branes for Higgs phases and exact conformal field theories

We consider multicenter supergravity solutions corresponding to Higgs phases of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with ZN symmetric vacua. In certain energy regimes, we find a description in terms…
