T-Duality and Effective D-Brane Actions
نویسنده
چکیده
T-duality realized on D-brane effective actions is studied from a pure worldvolume point of view. It is proved that invariance in the form of the DiracBorn-Infeld and Wess-Zumino terms fixes the T-duality transformations of the NS-NS and R-R background fields, respectively. The analysis is extended to uncover the mapping of global symmetries of the corresponding pair of D-branes involved in the transformation. PACS numbers: 11.10.Kk, 11.25.-w

Fermions, T-duality and effective actions for D-branes in bosonic backgrounds
We find the effective action for any D-brane in a general bosonic background of supergravity. The results are explicit in component fields up to second order in the fermions and are obtained in a covariant manner. No interaction terms between fermions and the field f = b+F , characteristic of the bosonic actions, are considered. These are reserved for future work. In order to obtain the actions...
متن کامل5-branes, KK-monopoles and T-duality
We construct the explicit worldvolume effective actions of the type IIB NS-5-brane and KK-monopole. These objects are obtained through a T -duality transformation from the IIA KK-monopole and the IIA NS-5-brane respectively. We show that the worldvolume field content of these actions is precisely that necessary to describe their worldvolume solitons. The IIB NS-5-brane effective action is shown...
متن کاملT-duality Covariance of SuperD-branes
T-duality realized on SuperD-brane effective actions probing in constant Gmn and bmn backgrounds is studied from a pure world volume point of view. It is proved that requiring T-duality covariance of such actions “fixes” the T-duality transformations of the world volume dynamical fields, and consequently, of the NS-NS and R-R coupling superfields. The analysis is extended to uncover the mapping...
متن کاملD - Brane Wess - Zumino Actions , T - Duality and the Cosmological Constant
A geometrical formulation of the T-duality rules for type II superstring Ramond–Ramond fields is presented. This is used to derive the Wess-Zumino terms in superstring D-brane actions, including terms proportional to the mass parameter of the IIA theory, thereby completing partial results in the literature. For non-abelian world-volume gauge groups the massive type IIA D-brane actions contain n...

Dual super Dp-brane actions are constructed by carrying out a duality transformation of the world-volume U(1) gauge field. The resulting world-volume actions, which contain a (p−2)-form gauge field, are shown to have the expected properties. Specifically, the D1-brane and D3-brane transform in ways that can be understood on the basis of the SL(2, Z) duality of type IIB superstring theory. Also,...
