BPS mass spectrum from D-brane action
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive the BPS mass formulae of the Dirichlet branes from the Born-Infeld type action. BPS saturation is realized when the brane has the minimal volume while keeping the appropriate winding numbers. We apply the idea to two cases, type IIA superstring compactified on T 4 and K3. The result is consistent with the string duality, and the expected spectrum for the BPS states is reproduced.

D-brane Analyses for BPS Mass Spectra and U-duality
We give a confirmation of U-duality of type II superstring by discussing mass spectrum of the BPS states. We first evaluate the mass spectrum of BPS solitons with one kind of R-R charges. Our analysis is based on the 1-loop effective action of D-brane, which is known as “Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action”, and the fact that BPS states correspond to the SUSY cycles with minimal volumes. We show the...
متن کاملRemark about non-BPS D-Brane in IIA theory
In this short note, we would like to show simple mechanisms, how from the action for non-BPS Dp-brane proposed by Sen, we can simply obtain action describing BPS D(p-1)-brane in IIA theory.

متن کاملOn Central Charges and Hamiltonians for 0 - brane dynamics ∗
We consider general properties of central charges of zero-branes and associated duality invariants, in view of their double role, on the bulk and on the world volume (quantum mechanical) theory. A detailed study of the BPS condition for the mass spectrum arising from toroidal compactifications is given for 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 BPS states in any dimension. As a byproduct, we retrieve the U-duality i...
متن کاملProposal for non - BPS D - brane action
In this short note we would like to propose a form for the action of a non-BPS D-brane, which will be manifestly supersymmetric invariant and T-duality covariant. We also explicitly show that tachyon condensation on the world-volume of this brane leads to the Dirac-Born-Infeld action for BPS D(p-1)-brane.
