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 theories, such as homological mirror symmetry and
quantum cohomology.
Geometry and Physics of Branes provides an introduction to current
research in some of these different areas, both in physics and
mathematics. The book opens with a lucid introduction to the basic
aspects of branes in string theory. Topics covered in subsequent
chapters include tachyon condensation, the geometry surrounding the
Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture (a duality between the SU(N) Chern-Simons
theory on S3 and a IIA string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau
3-fold), two-dimensional conformal field theory on open and
unoriented surfaces, and the development of a homology theory
naturally attached to the deformations of vector bundles that
should be relevant to the study of homological mirror symmetry.
