T-duality Covariance of SuperD-branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 of the symmetry structure associated with these SuperD-brane actions. In particular, we determine the T-duality transformation properties of kappa symmetry and supersymmetry, which allow us to prove that bosonic supersymmetric world volume solitons of the original theory generate, through T-duality, the expected ones in the T-dual theory. The latter proof is generalized to arbitrary bosonic backgrounds. We conclude with some comments on extensions of our approach to arbitrary kappa symmetric backgrounds, non-BPS D-branes and non-abelian SuperD-branes. PACS: 11.10.Kk, 11.25.-w

T-duality and Actions for Non-Commutative D-Branes
We show how the T-duality is realized for D-branes with noncommutative world-volume coordinates. We discuss D-branes wrapped on tori and the result is that the recently found noncommutative actions form a consistent collection due to the T-duality mapping between noncommutative D-branes and rotated commutative D-branes on deformed tori.

متن کاملGeometric aspects of D-branes and T-duality
We explore the differential geometry of T-duality and D-branes. Because D-branes and RR-fields are properly described via K-theory, we discuss the (differential) K-theoretic generalization of T-duality and its application to the coupling of D-branes to RR-fields. This leads to a puzzle involving the transformation of the A-roof genera in the coupling.
متن کاملT-duality and the Worldvolume Solitons of Five-Branes and KK-Monopoles
We show that the fluxes of the various six-dimensional “gauge” theories are associated to below threshold bound states of D-branes with the NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles which preserve half of bulk supersymmetry. We then present the supergravity solutions that correspond to these bound states. In addition using the worldvolume solitons of IIA and IIB NS-5-branes and KK-monopoles, we investigate ...
متن کاملRolling Down the Throat in NS5-brane Background: The Case of Electrified D-Brane
We study rolling radion dynamics of electrified D-brane in NS5-brane background, both in effective field theory and in full open string theory. We construct exact boundary states and, from them, extract conserved Noether currents. We argue that T-duality and Lorentz boost offer an intuitive approach. In the limit of large number of NS5-branes, both boundary wave functions and conserved currents...
متن کاملF - Theory , T - Duality on K 3 Surfaces and N = 2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in Four Dimensions
We construct T-duality on K3 surfaces. The T-duality exchanges a 4-brane R-R charge and a 0-brane R-R charge. We study the action of the T-duality on the moduli space of 0-branes located at points of K3 and 4-branes wrapping it. We apply the construction to F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau 4-fold and study the duality of N = 2 SU(N c) gauge theories in four dimensions. We discuss the gener...
