0 Born - Infeld Theory and Stringy Causality
Fluctuations around a non-trivial solution of Born-Infeld theory have a limiting speed given not by the Einstein metric but the Boillat metric. The Boillat metric is S-duality invariant and conformal to the open string metric. It also governs the propagation of scalars and spinors in Born-Infeld theory. We discuss the potential clash between causality determined by the closed string and open st...

متن کاملSelf-dual Born-Infeld Theory
We study the supersymmetric extension of the gauged O(3) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions and find the supersymmetry algebra. We also discuss soliton solutions in case the Maxwell term is replaced by the Born-Infeld term. We show that by appropriate choice of the potential, the self-dual equations in the Born-Infeld case coincide with those of the Maxwell’s case.
متن کاملComments on Born–Infeld Theory
The low-energy effective action of supersymmetric D-brane systems consists of two terms, one of which is of the Born–Infeld type and one of which is of the Chern–Simons type. I briefly review the status of our understanding of these terms for both the Abelian and non-Abelian cases. Talk presented at Strings 2001 1 Single BPS D-Brane D-branes are surfaces on which open strings can end [1] [2] [3...
متن کاملOn Duality in the Born-Infeld Theory
The duality symmetric action for the Born-Infeld theory in terms of two potentials, coupled with non-trivial backgroud fields in four dimensions is established. This construction is carried out in detail by analysing the hamiltonian structure of the Born-Infeld theory. It is shown the equivalence with the usual Born-Infeld theory. Nowadays the concept of duality is widely recognized by its unif...
