Branes, weights and central charges
A bstractWe study the properties of half-supersymmetric branes in string theory with 32 supercharges from a purely group-theoretical point of view using the U-duality symmetry of maximal supergravity…

Branes and wrapping rules
We show that the branes of ten-dimensional IIA/IIB string theory must satisfy, upon toroidal compactification, specific wrapping rules in order to reproduce the number of supersymmetric branes that…
Anyonic Defect Branes and Conformal Blocks in Twisted Equivariant Differential (TED) K-theory
We demonstrate that twisted equivariant differential K-theory of transverse complex curves accommodates exotic charges of the form expected of codimension=2 defect branes, such as of D7-branes in…
Five-brane actions in double field theory
A bstractWe construct an action for NSNS 5-branes which is manifestly covariant under O(d, d). This is done by doubling d of the spacetime coordinates which appear in the worldvolume action. By…
Exotic branes and non-geometric fluxes
A bstractWe present and study ten-dimensional effective actions for various nongeometric fluxes of which exotic branes act as the magnetic sources. Each theory can be regarded as a U-dual version of…
Exotic branes and mixed-symmetry potentials. I. Predictions from E11 symmetry
Type II string theory or M-theory contains a broad spectrum of gauge potentials. In addition to the standard $p$-form potentials, various mixed-symmetry potentials have been predicted, which may…
Exotic branes in Exceptional Field Theory: E7(7) and beyond
A bstractIn recent years, it has been widely argued that the duality transformations of string and M-theory naturally imply the existence of so-called ‘exotic branes’ — low codimension objects with…

D-brane Wess-Zumino terms and U-duality
We construct gauge-invariant and U-duality covariant expressions for Wess-Zumino terms corresponding to general Dp-branes (0 ≤ p ≤ D − 1) in arbitrary 3 ≤ D ≤ 10 dimensions. A distinguishing feature…
The D-brane U-scan
We consider the D-branes that occur in IIA/IIB string theory compactified on a torus. We review how a general expression for the Wess-Zumino term of such branes is derived. We also review the method…
Dirichlet Branes and Ramond-Ramond charges.
We show that D-branes, extended objects defined by mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, break half the supersymmetries of the type II superstring and carry a complete set of electric and…

Maximal supergravity solutions are revisited and classified, with particular emphasis on objects of co-dimension at most two. This class of solutions includes branes whose tension scales with xxxx.…
