D-branes from conformal field theory

  • 1. Department of Mathematics, King's College London, Strand, London WC2R 2LS (United Kingdom)

Description

An introduction to the construction of D-branes using conformal field theory methods is given. A number of examples are discussed in detail, in particular the construction of all conformal D-branes for the theory of a single free boson on a circle.
