D3-brane loop amplitudes from M5-brane tree amplitudes
We study loop corrections to scattering amplitudes in the world-volume theory of a probe D3-brane, which is described by the supersymmetric Dirac-Born-Infeld theory.

String theory or field theory? [PDF]
The status of string theory is reviewed, and major recent developments - especially those in going beyond perturbation theory in the string theory and quantum field theory frameworks - are discussed. This analysis helps better understand the role and place of string theory in the modern picture of the physical world.

On higher-derivative effects on the gravitational potential and particle bending
Using modern amplitude techniques we compute the leading classical and quantum corrections to the gravitational potential between two massive scalars induced by adding cubic terms to Einstein gravity.

Monopoles in string theory [PDF]
A realization of E_{n+1} monopoles in string theory is given. The NS five brane stuck to an Orientifold eight plane is identified as the 't Hooft Polyakov monopole. Correspondingly, the moduli space of many such NS branes is identified with the moduli space of SU(2) monopoles.

This article discusses the link between matrix models and string theory, giving emphasis on topological string theory and the Dijkgraaf–Vafa correspondence, along with applications of this correspondence and its generalizations to supersymmetric gauge theory, enumerative geometry, and mirror symmetry.

The subleading eikonal in supergravity theories
In this paper we study the subleading contributions to eikonal scattering in (super)gravity theories with particular emphasis on the role of both elastic and inelastic scattering processes.

Eikonal scattering in Kaluza-Klein gravity
We study eikonal scattering in the context of Kaluza-Klein theory by considering a massless scalar field coupled to Einstein’s gravity in 5D compactified to 4D on a manifold M 4 × S 1.

A tale of two exponentiations in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8 supergravity at subleading level
High-energy massless gravitational scattering in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8 supergravity was recently analyzed at leading level in the deflection angle, uncovering an interesting connection between exponentiation of infrared divergences in momentum space ...
