String theory and noncommutative geometry

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.

Born-Infeld particles and Dirichlet p-branes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of Dirichlet p-branes as the ends of strings intersecting the brane when the effects of gravity are ignored, and show that certain special Lagrangian submanifolds of C p, p = 3, 4, 5, may be regarded as supersymmetric configurations consisting of pbranes at angles joined by throats which are the sources of global monopoles.

Covariant Action for the Super-Five-Brane of M Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a complete, $d\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}} = \phantom''rule {0ex}0ex''6$ covariant and kappa-symmetric, action for the $M$ theory five-brane propagating in a supergravity background, which can be used for studying corresponding dualities and nonperturbative aspects of these theories.

Covariant action for a D = 11 five-brane with the chiral field

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a Born-Infeld-like action for a bosonic 5-brane with a world-volume chiral field in a background of a three-rank antisymmetric gauge field.

Covariant field equations of chiral N = 2 D = 10 supergravity

TL;DR: In this article, the self-duality of a supercovariant fifth-rank field strength tensor is analyzed in terms of SU(1, 1) symmetry.

Some Comments On String Dynamics

Edward Witten
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-dual non-critical string appears in Type IIB superstring theory at points in the moduli space where the Type IIA theory has extended gauge symmetry.
