A Study of a Non-Abelian Generalization of the Born-Infeld Action
نویسنده
چکیده
A new type of non-Abelian generalization of the Born-Infeld action is proposed, in which the spacetime indices and group indices are combined. The action is manifestly Lorentz and gauge invariant. In its power expansion, the lowest order term is the Yang-Mills action and the second term corresponds to the bosonic stringy correction to this action. Solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equation for the SU(2) case are considered and we show that there exists an instanton-like solution which has winding number one and finite action. ∗E-mail address: [email protected]

Fluctuation Spectra of Tilted and Intersecting D-branes from the Born-Infeld Action
We consider the spectra of excitations around diagonal and intersecting D-brane configurations on tori. These configurations are described by constant curvature connections in a dual gauge theory description. The low-energy string fluctuation spectrum is reproduced exactly by the gauge theory in the case of vanishing field strength; however, this correspondence breaks down for fixed nonzero fie...
متن کاملMany Faces of Born-Infeld Theory
Born-Infeld theory is the non-linear generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics. It naturally arises as the low-energy effective action of open strings, and it is also part of the world-volume effective action of D-branes. The N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric generalizations of the Born-Infeld action are closely related to partial spontaneous breaking of rigid extended supersymmetry. We review som...
متن کاملOn the Non-abelian Born-infeld Action
We discuss some aspects of the generalization of the Born-Infeld action to non-abelian gauge groups and show how the discrepancy between Tseytlin’s symmetrized trace proposal and string theory can be corrected at order F . We also comment on the possible quadratic order fermionic terms. While the talk I gave at the Gong Show session of Cargèse’ 99 Summer School was devoted to an outline of the ...
متن کاملNon - Abelian Born - Infeld Action and Type I – Heterotic Duality ( I ) : Heterotic F 6 Terms at Two Loops ∗
We study the two-loop F 6 interactions in SO(32) heterotic superstring theory in D=10. By using the generalized Riemann identity we are able to determine the single-trace part of the effective action up to a few constants which are related to certain scattering amplitudes. This two-loop heterotic result is related by duality to Type I interactions at the tree level. However, it turns out to be ...
متن کاملNon-abelian Born-Infeld and kappa-symmetry
We define an iterative procedure to obtain a non-abelian generalization of the Born-Infeld action. This construction is made possible by the use of the severe restrictions imposed by kappa-symmetry. In this paper we will present all bosonic terms in the action up to terms quartic in the Yang-Mills field strength and all fermion bilinear terms up to terms cubic in the field strength. Already at ...
