D-Brane Actions, Intrinsic Geometry and Duality
- Physics
- 1999
The effective action for superstring theory in the presence of a D-p-brane is the sum S = S D + S (p) of the bulk supergravity action S D and the effective world-volume action S (p) The latter is the…
String multiplets from an invariant 2-brane

We study a three-dimensional gauge theory obtained from the dimensional reduction of a D4-brane worldvolume theory in the background of space-time moduli. An SL(3) symmetry in this theory, which acts…

Branes within branes
- Physics
- 1995
Superstring theory has a rich spectrum of solitonic states, and over the last years much has been learned about their important roles in the theory, in strong-weak coupling duality and in resolving…
Dirichlet Branes and Ramond-Ramond charges.
- PhysicsPhysical review letters
- 1995
We show that D-branes, extended objects defined by mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, break half the supersymmetries of the type II superstring and carry a complete set of electric and…
