Idea

In string theory a permutation D-brane (Recknagel 02) is a D-brane inhabiting the diagonal of a Cartesian product space XX such that as boundary states for open strings these enforce that left/right worldsheet-fields are glued along some permutation of these factors.

Examples

For the Gepner model

All the known rational boundary states for Gepner models can be regarded as permutation branes.

(Enger-Recknagel-Roggenkamp 05)

Basic

The concept was introduced and studied in boundary conformal field theory in

Generalised permutation branes

    It might surprise that despite all the progress that has been made in understanding branes on group manifolds, there are usually not enough D-branes known to explain the whole charge group predicted by (twisted) K-theory.
