On the Classical String Solutions and String/Field Theory Duality
We classify almost all classical string configurations, considered in the framework of the semi-classical limit of the string/gauge theory duality. Then, we describe a procedure for obtaining the conserved quantities and the exact classical string solutions in general string theory backgrounds, when the string embedding coordinates depend non-linearly on the worldsheet time parameter.

Probe Branes Dynamics: Exact Solutions in General Backgrounds
We consider probe p-branes and Dp-branes dynamics in D-dimensional string theory backgrounds of general type. Unified description for the tensile and tensionless branes is used. We obtain exact solutions of their equations of motion and constraints in static gauge as well as in more general gauges. Their dynamics in the whole space-time is also analysed and exact solutions are found.

Probe Branes Dynamics in Nonconstant Background Fields
We consider probe p-branes dynamics in string theory backgrounds of general type. We use an action, which interpolates between Nambu-Goto and Polyakov type actions. This allows us to give a unified description for the tensile and tensionless branes. Firstly, we perform our analysis in the frequently used static gauge. Then, we obtain exact brane solutions in more general gauges. The same approach is used to study the Dirichlet p-brane dynamics and here exact solutions are also found. As an illustration, we apply our results to the brane world scenario in the framework of the mirage cosmology approach.

Exact String Solutions and the Open String - D-Brane System in Non-Constant Background Fields I

Exact String Solutions in Nontrivial Backgrounds
We show how the classical string dynamics in $D$-dimensional gravity background can be reduced to the dynamics of a massless particle constrained on a certain surface whenever there exists at least one Killing vector for the background metric. We obtain a number of sufficient conditions, which ensure the existence of exact solutions to the equations of motion and constraints. These results are extended to include the Kalb-Ramond background. The $D1$-brane dynamics is also analyzed and exact solutions are found. Finally, we illustrate our considerations with several examples in different dimensions. All this also applies to the tensionless strings.

Exact Brane Solutions in Curved Backgrounds
We consider the classical null p-brane dynamics in D-dimensional curved backgrounds and apply the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky approach for BRST quantization of general gauge theories. Then we develop a method for solving the tensionless $p$-brane equations of motion and constraints. This is possible whenever there exists at least one Killing vector for the background metric. It is shown that the same method can be also applied for the tensile 1-branes. Finally, we give two examples of explicit exact solutions in four dimensions.

D=10 Chiral Tensionless Super p-Branes
We consider a model for tensionless (null) super p-branes with N chiral supersymmetries in ten dimensional flat space-time. After establishing the symmetries of the action, we give the general solution of the classical equations of motion in a particular gauge. In the case of a null superstring (p=1) we find the general solution in an arbitrary gauge. Then, using a harmonic superspace approach, the initial algebra of first and second class constraints is converted into an algebra of Lorentz-covariant, BFV-irreducible, first class constraints only. The corresponding BRST charge is as for a first rank dynamical system.

N=1, D=10 Tensionless Superbranes II
We consider a model for tensionless (null) p-branes with N=1 global supersymmetry in 10-dimensional Minkowski space-time. We give an action for the model and show that it is reparametrization and kappa-invariant. We also find some solutions of the classical equations of motion. In the case of null superstring (p=1), we obtain the general solution in arbitrary gauge.

Tensionless branes and the null string critical dimension
BRST quantization is carried out for a model of p-branes with second class constraints. After extension of the phase space the constraint algebra coincides with the one of null string when p=1. It is shown that in this case one can or can not obtain critical dimension for the null string, depending on the choice of the operator ordering and corresponding vacuum states. When p>1, operator orderings leading to critical dimension in the p=1 case are not allowed. Admissable orderings give no restrictions on the dimension of the embedding space-time. Finally, a generalization to supersymmetric null branes is proposed.
