Dirichlet Branes and Ramond-Ramond charges.
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 magnetic Ramond-Ramond charges. The product of the electric and magnetic charges is a single Dirac unit, and the quantum of charge is that required by string duality. This is strong evidence that D-bran...
متن کاملRamond-Ramond Couplings of Noncommutative D-branes
We propose the leading couplings, in an α expansion, of D-branes to Ramond-Ramond (RR) potentials in a constant NSNS B-field for an arbitrary choice of noncommutative parameter. The proposal is motivated by some string amplitude computations. The zero momentum couplings are topological in nature and include Elliott’s formula involving the noncommutative Chern character. The finite momentum coup...
متن کاملRamond-ramond Fields, Fractional Branes and Orbifold Differential K-theory
We study D-branes and Ramond-Ramond fields on global orbifolds of Type II string theory with vanishing H-flux using methods of equivariant K-theory and K-homology. We illustrate how Bredon equivariant cohomology naturally realizes stringy orbifold cohomology. We emphasize its role as the correct cohomological tool which captures known features of the low-energy effective field theory, and which...
متن کاملRamond-Ramond couplings of non-BPS D-branes
We study how non-BPS type II D-branes couple to R-R potentials. Upon tachyon condensation the couplings we find give rise to the Wess-Zumino action of BPS D-branes. In a seminal series of papers, Sen has shown how to obtain an exact conformal field theory description of non-BPS D-branes (see [1] for two of the main papers and two recent reviews). In this setup, a non-BPS D(p − 1)-brane remains ...
متن کاملRamond-Ramond Field Transformation
We find that the mixture of Ramond-Ramond fields and Neveu-Schwarz two form are transformed as Majorana spinors under the T-duality group O(d, d). The Ramond-Ramond field transformation under the group O(d, d) is realized in a simple form by using the spinor representation. The Ramond-Ramond field transformation rule obtained by Bergshoeff et al. is shown as a specific simple example. We also g...
