Review text

Various properties of D-branes are reviewed. After reviewing the basics, the unstable D-brane/anti-D-brane systems are analyzed. The construction of the non-BPS D\(0\)-brane in type I theory is given. This state is stable since it carries a conserved \({\mathbb Z}_2\) charge. The general classification of D-brane charges using \(K\)-theory is discussed. The results for the type I theory, and the \(T\)-dual type I\(^\prime\) theory, are emphasized. Compactification of type I on a circle or torus gives a theory with 16 supersymmetries in 9d or 8d. In each case the moduli space has three branches. The spectrum of non-BPS D-branes are different for each of these branches. Some problems with the type I D7-brane and D8-brane predicted by \(K\)-theory are pointed out. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0987.00054].
