My seminar/talk history (after coming back to Japan : Sep. 2001 - Sep. 2007)

Current interest

Mainly D-brane physics in string theory. Holographic QCD, String field theories, Tachyon condensation, (D-)brane effective field theories, Solitons in field theories and their brane correspondents, Non-commutative spaces, String dualities and field theory dualities, etc.

The brane physics gives a gleam of hope to understand non-perturbative formulations of string/M theory, and finally will lead us to the non-perturbative vacuum in it.

My SPIRES results

Research papers up to now

Transparencies of my seminars (sorry, partly in Japanese)

My hobby

I like swimming, hiking, watching movies, reading books, studying Sherlock Holmes. But these days, in holidays I spend most of time with my family, with my little daughter!

May have a nice day filled with physics!
