Non-perturbative effects on D-branes and geometric deformations

abstract

I will discuss how the non-perturbative effect (gaugino condensation) on D-branes is manifest in ten dimensions. It turns out that the D-brane with the condensing gauginos backreacts on the surrounding geometry changing its complex and/or simplectic structure. The emphasis of this talk will be on the case of D7-brane as in this case the classical geometry changes into a genuine generalised one.
