In this letter we review some recent work on the noncommutative geometry of branes on group manifolds. In particular, we show how fuzzy spaces arise in this context from an exact worldsheet description and we sketch the construction of a low-energy effective action for massless open string modes. The latter is given by a combination of a Yang–Mills and a Chern–Simons like functional on the fuzzy world-volume. It can be used to study condensation on various brane configurations in curved backgrounds.

We show that the two-loop contribution to the coefficient of the Chern–Simons term in the effective action of the Yang–Mills–Chern–Simons theory is infrared finite in the background field Landau gauge. We also discuss the difficulties in verifying the conjecture, due to topological considerations, that there are no more quantum corrections to the Chern–Simons term other than the well-known one-loop shift of the coefficient.

The recently found noncritical open string theories is reviewed. These open strings, noncommutative open string theories (NCOS), arise as consistent quantum theories describing the low energy theory of D-branes in a background electric B-field in the critical limit. Focusing on the D3-brane case, we construct the most general (3+1) NCOS, which is described by four parameters. We study S- and T-dualities of these theories and argue the existence of a U-duality group.

We analyze the relationship between the N=2 harmonic and projective superspaces, which are the only approaches developed to describe general N=2 super-Yang–Mills theories in terms of off-shell supermultiplets with conventional supersymmetry. The structure of low energy hypermultiplet effective action is briefly discussed.

We elaborate on our previous work on (N=2)-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we show how to explicitly determine the low energy quantum effective action for G=SU(3) from the underlying hyperelliptic Riemann surface, and calculate the leading instanton corrections. This is done by solving Picard-Fuchs equations and asymptotically evaluating period integrals. We find that the dynamics of the SU(3) theory is governed by an Appell system of type F4, and compute the exact quantum gauge coupling explicitly in terms of Appell functions.

The loop variable method that has been developed for the U(1) bosonic open string is generalized to include non-Abelian gauge invariance by incorporating "Chan–Paton" gauge group indices. The scale transformation symmetry k(s)→λ(s)k(s) that was responsible for gauge invariance in the U(1) case continues to be a symmetry. In addition there is a non-Abelian "rotation" symmetry. Both symmetries crucially involve the massive modes. However, it is plausible that only a linear combination, which is the usual Yang–Mills transformation on massless fields, has a smooth (worldsheet) continuum limit. We also illustrate how an infinite number of terms in the equation of motion in the cutoff theory add up to give a term that has a smooth continuum limit, and thus contributes to the low energy Yang–Mills equation of motion.

We follow Witten's proposal1 in the calculation of conformal anomaly from (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity via AdS/CFT correspondence. It is assumed that some d-dimensional conformal field theories have a description in terms of above (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity which includes not only the Einstein term and cosmological constant but also curvature squared terms. The explicit expression for two-dimensional and four-dimensional anomalies is found, it contains higher derivative corrections. In particular, it is shown that not only Einstein gravity but also theory with the Lagrangian L =aR2 + bRμνRμν + Λ (even when a=0 or b=0) is five-dimensional bulk theory for [Formula: see text] super-Yang–Mills theory in AdS/CFT correspondence. Similarly, the d + 1 = 3 theory with (or without) Einstein term may describe d = 2 scalar or spinor CFT's. That gives new versions of bulk side which may be useful in different aspects. As application of our general formalism we find next-to-leading corrections to the conformal anomaly of [Formula: see text] supersymmetric theory from d = 5 AdS higher derivative gravity (low energy string effective action).

We investigate an effective torsion curvature in a second-order formalism underlying a two-form world-volume dynamics in a D5-brane. In particular, we consider the two form in presence of a background (open string) metric in a U(1) gauge theory. Interestingly the formalism may be viewed via a noncoincident pair of [Formula: see text]-brane with a global Nereu–Schwarz (NS) two form on an anti-brane and a local two form on a brane. The energy–momentum tensor is computed in the six-dimensional (6D) conformal field theory (CFT). It is shown to source a metric fluctuation on a vacuum created pair of [Formula: see text]-brane at a cosmological horizon by the two-form quanta in the gauge theory. The emergent gravity scenario is shown to describe a low-energy (perturbative) string vacuum in 6D with a nonperturbative (NP) quantum correction by a lower (p < 5) dimensional Dp-brane or an anti-brane in the formalism. A closed string exchange between a pair of [Formula: see text]-brane, underlying a closed/open string duality, is argued to describe the Einstein vacuum in a low-energy limit. We obtain topological de Sitter (TdS) and Schwarzschild brane universe in six dimensions. The brane/anti-brane geometries are analyzed to explore some of their characteristic and thermal behaviors in presence of the quantum effects. They reveal an underlying nine-dimensional type IIA and IIB superstring theories on S1.
