Introduction to D-Branes, with Applications
Clifford V. Johnson
Abstract
A brief review of some of the central ideas, terminology and techniques of the technology of orientifolds and D-branes is presented. Some applications are reviewed, including the construction of dual solitonic strings in the context of string/string duality, the computation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy/area law for extremal black holes, and the construction of N=1 string vacua in dimensions lower than ten. (Contribution to the proceedings of the fourth International Workshop on Supersymmetry and Unification of Fundamental Interactions (SUSY '96), held at the University of Maryland at College Park, May 29 - June 1, 1996.)
