Notes on D-branes of Type IIB String on AdS_5 x S^5

TL;DR

This paper completes the classification of supersymmetric D-branes in type IIB string theory on AdS_5 x S^5, confirming previous partial results at all orders of fermionic variables.

Contribution

It extends previous classifications by proving their validity at full fermionic order, thus completing the supersymmetric D-brane classification in this background.

Findings

Classification valid at full fermionic order

Supersymmetry preservation confirmed for all D-branes

Completes previous partial classifications

Abstract

We promote a study of D-branes of type IIB string on the AdS_5 x S^5 background. The possible D-branes preserving half of supersymmetries were classified up to and including the fourth order of fermionic variable \th in our previous work [hep-th/0310228]. In this paper we show that our classification is still valid even at the full order of \th. This proof supplements our previous results and completes the classification of D-branes in the type IIB string theory on the AdS_5 x S^5.
