Branes for Relativists - The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a pedagogical account of the brane technology so that the relativists can use branes in their study.
Cosmology in a Brane Universe - This lecture presents the cosmological models with extra dimensions that have been recently elaborated, which assume that ordinary matter is confined on a surface, called brane, embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime.
Brane Cosmology - The aim of these lectures is to give a brief introduction to brane cosmology
Brane Cantenac - Le château présente son vignoble, son savoir-faire, sa tradition et ses vins. Appellation margaux.
2001: A Spacetime Odyssey - A lecture on colliding branes and the origin of the hot big bang by Paul Steinhardt.
A Recycled Universe - A scientific american article on the brane-world models of the Universe
The Cyclic Universe - An informal introduction to the models of the universe which use higher dimension branes.
Brane-Storm Challenges Big Bang Theory - A popular physics explanation of the ekpyrotic model of universe creation

Brane Cantenac - Margaux estate. Presents vineyards, harvest, cellar, wines. [Flash required].

D-brane - In string theory, D-branes are a class of extended objects upon which open strings can end with Dirichlet boundary conditions, after which they are named. D-branes were discovered by Dai, Leigh and Polchinski, and independently by Horava in 1989.
Hanany-Witten transition - In theoretical physics the Hanany-Witten transition, also called the Hanany-Witten effect, refers to any process in a superstring theory in which two p-branes cross resulting in the creation or destruction of a third p-brane. A special case of this process was first discovered by Amihay Hanany and Edward Witten in their 1996 paper Type IIB Superstrings, BPS Monopoles, And Three-Dimensional Gauge Dynamics.
Robert Leigh - Robert Leigh (born 1964 in Canada) is a physicist working on string theory. His contributions to theoretical physics include D-branes and the discovery, with Matthew Strassler, of conformal field theories in dimensions higher than two.
K-theory (physics) - In string theory, the K-theory classification refers to a conjectured application of K-theory (in abstract algebra and algebraic topology) to superstrings, to classify the allowed Ramond-Ramond field strengths as well as the charges of stable D-branes.
S-brane - In string theory, S-brane is a hypothetical and controversial counterpart of a D-brane, which, unlike a D-brane, is localized in time. It is thought to be extended in the space-like/temporal directions only, but is otherwise analogous to P-branes.
