A (p-)brane is a dynamically evolving physical object that generalizes the notion of a point particle to (p) higher dimensions. A point particle can be viewed as a brane of dimension zero, a string as a brane of dimension one, and a membrane (sheet) as a brane of dimension two. Do not use for particles or strings, however, unless in comparative juxtapositions.

Must string models that describe 4d effective field theories always have D-branes that exten...

In string theory the D-branes give those directions that the strings are allowed to move along. The string excitations give the fields that we detect. … If so, this implies that a realistic model should always have D-branes that extend in these 4 spacetime directions. …

Why does the object $\epsilon_L Q_L + \epsilon_R Q_R$ correspond to a 16-component conserved...

I understand that when a 10-dimensional superstring theory has a Dp-brane (say, extending in the $x_0, ... , x_p$ directions) we have the total conserved supercharge given by: \begin{equation} \epsi …

Sources that explain strings between two branes, where one brane ends on the other

Edit: As @OON has pointed out in the comments below, fundamental strings don't end on NS5-branes. … Would the spectrum be the same as for two intersecting D-branes? …

Fayet-Iliopolous Parameters from Separation of NS5-branes in $(x_{7}, x_{8}, x_{9})$: An amb...

My questions is: What happens when there are more than one stack of D3s and more than two NS5-branes? How do we calculate the FI terms, and to which D3 stack are the FI terms associated? …
