In this article, the boundary conformal field theory approach is used to study branes in a curved background with non-vanishing Neveu-Schwarz 3-form field strength.Abstract:
Branes in non-trivial backgrounds are expected to exhibit interesting dynamical properties. We use the boundary conformal field theory approach to study branes in a curved background with non-vanishing Neveu-Schwarz 3-form field strength. For branes on an $S^3$, the low-energy effective action is computed to leading order in the string tension. It turns out to be a field theory on a non-commutative `fuzzy 2-sphere' which consists of a Yang-Mills and a Chern-Simons term. We find a certain set of classical solutions that have no analogue for flat branes in Euclidean space. These solutions show, in particular, how a spherical brane can arise as bound state from a stack of D0-branes.read more

Liouville Field Theory — A decade after the revolution
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent developments of the Liouville field theory and its matrix model dual is presented, which includes some original material such as the derivation of the conjectured dual action for the N = 2 LiOUville theory from other known dualities and the comparison of the cross-cap state with the c = 0 unoriented matrix model.

Emergent geometry and gravity from matrix models: an introduction
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of non-commutative gravity within Yang-Mills matrix models is presented, where spacetime is described as a noncommutive brane solution of the matrix model, i.e. as a submanifold of.

Nonassociative star product deformations for D-brane world-volumes in curved backgrounds

String theory and noncommutative geometry
Nathan Seiberg,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a non-zero B-field is introduced for string theory and the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally coupled (supersymmetric) gauge theory on a noncommutative space, and the corrections away from this limit are discussed.

Noncommutative Geometry and Matrix Theory: Compactification on Tori
Alain Connes,Michael R. Douglas,Michael R. Douglas,Albert Schwarz,Albert Schwarz,Albert Schwarz +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied toroidal compactification of Matrix theory, using ideas and results of non-commutative geometry, and argued that they correspond in supergravity to tori with constant background three-form tensor field.

Bound states of strings and p-branes
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Type IIB superstring in ten dimensions has a family of soliton and bound state strings permuted by SL(2, Z ) and the space-time coordinates enter tantalizingly in the formalism as noncommuting matrices.

Boundary conditions, fusion rules and the Verlinde formula
TL;DR: In this article, the Verlinde formula is derived from the partition function of a conformal field theory in an annulus, and a simple derivation of the vertex formula is given.

Universal noninteger "ground-state degeneracy" in critical quantum systems.
TL;DR: G is argued to decrease under renormalization from a less stable to a more stable critical point and plays a role in boundary critical phenomena quite analogous to that played by c, the conformal anomaly, in the bulk case.
