Geometry and Physics of Branes

by U Bruzzo (Editor), V. Gorini (Editor), U. Moschella (Editor)

Overview

Branes are solitonic configurations of a string theory that are represented by extended objects in a higher-dimensional space-time. They are essential for a comprehension of the non-perturbative aspects of string theory, in particular, in connection with string dualities. From the mathematical viewpoint, branes are related to several important theo
