Exon creation and establishment in human genes (2008)

Corvelo, André, Eyras, Eduardo

Differentiated evolutionary rates in alternative exons and the implications for splicing regulation (2006)

Plass, Mireya, Eyras, Eduardo

The Spacetime Life of a Non-BPS D-particle (2000)

We investigate the classical geometry generated by a stable non-BPS D-particle. We consider the boundary state of a stable non-BPS D-particle in the covariant formalism in the type IIB theory...

T-duality and actions for non-BPS D-branes (2000)

Eyras, Eduardo, Wit, Tim C. De, Roo, Mees De, Bergshoeff, Eric A., Panda, Sudhakar

We employ T-duality to restrict the tachyon dependence of effective actions for non-BPS D-branes. For the Born-Infeld part the criteria of T-duality and supersymmetry are satisfied by a simple...

Stable D8-branes and Tachyon Condensation in Type 0 Open String Theory (1999)

Eyras, Eduardo

We consider non-BPS D8 (and D7) branes in type 0 open string theory and describe under which circumstances these branes are stable. We find stable non-BPS D7 and D8 in type 0 with and without...

Exotic Branes and Nonperturbative Seven Branes (1999)

Eyras, Eduardo, Lozano, Yolanda

We construct the effective action of certain exotic branes in the Type II theories which are not predicted by their spacetime supersymmetry algebras. We analyze in detail the case of the NS-7B brane,...

Kaluza-Klein Monopole and 5-brane Effective Actions (1999)

Eyras, Eduardo, Lozano, Yolanda

We review the construction of the Kaluza-Klein monopole of the Type IIA theory in the most general case of a massive background, as well as its relation via T-duality with the Type IIB NS-5-brane....

Brane Actions and String Dualities (1998)

Eyras, Eduardo, Lozano, Yolanda

An effective action for the M9-brane is proposed. We study its relation with other branes via dualities. Among these, we find actions for branes which are not suggested by the central charges of the...

The Kaluza-Klein Monopole in a Massive IIA Background (1998)

Eyras, Eduardo, Lozano, Yolanda

We construct the effective action of the KK-monopole in a massive Type IIA background. We follow two approaches. First we construct a massive M-theory KK-monopole from which the IIA monopole is...

5-branes, KK-monopoles and T-duality (1998)

Eyras, Eduardo, Janssen, Bert, Lozano, Yolanda

We construct the explicit worldvolume effective actions of the type IIB NS-5-brane and KK-monopole. These objects are obtained through a T-duality transformation from the IIA KK-monopole and the IIA...

The Massive Kaluza-Klein Monopole (1998)

Bergshoeff, Eric, Eyras, Eduardo, Lozano, Yolanda

We construct the (bosonic) effective worldvolume action of an M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopole in a background given by the bosonic sector of eleven-dimensional massive supergravity, i.e. a "massive...

The massive Kaluza-Klein monopole (1998)

We construct the (bosonic) effective worldvolume action of an M-theory Kaluza–Klein monopole in a background given by the bosonic sector of eleven-dimensional massive supergravity, i.e. a...
