abstract = {D-branes represent a key theoretical tool in the
understanding of strongly coupled superstring theory and
M-theory. They have led to many striking discoveries,
including the precise microphysics underlying the
thermodynamic behaviour of certain black holes, and
remarkable holographic dualities between large-N gauge
theories and gravity. This book provides a self-contained
introduction to the technology of D-branes, presenting the
recent developments and ideas in a pedagogical manner. It is
suitable for use as a textbook in graduate courses on modern
string theory and theoretical particle physics, and will
also be an indispensable reference for seasoned
practitioners. The introductory material is developed by
first starting with the main features of string theory
needed to get rapidly to grips with D-branes, uncovering
further aspects while actually working with D-branes. Many
advanced applications are covered, with discussions of open
problems which could form the basis for other avenues of
research.},
