Description

We present some preliminary investigations about the AdS2 x S2 D3-branes in AdS3 x S3. We analyse the quadratic fluctuations of the Dirac--Born--Infeld action around a given semi-classical D-brane configuration and compare them with results obtained by using conformal-field-theory techniques. We finally study classical motions of open strings attached to those D-branes and analyse the role of the spectral flow in this context. (author)
