Infinite-dimensional groups and algebras motivated by physics, including Virasoro, Kac-Moody, (W)-algebras and other current algebras and their representations (81R10) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

Abstract: We study the classification of D-branes in all compact Lie groups including non-simply-laced ones. We also discuss the global structure of the quantum moduli space of the D-branes. D-branes are classified according to their positions in the maximal torus. We describe rank 2 cases, namely $B_2$, $C_2$, $G_2$, explicitly and construct all the D-branes in $B_r$, $C_r$, $F_4$ by the method of iterative deletion in the Dynkin diagram. The discussion of moduli space involves global issues that can be treated in terms of the exact homotopy sequence and various lattices. We also show that singular D-branes can exist at quantum mechanical level.
