چکیده
O. Obregón∗ Instituto de F́ısica de la Universidad de Guanajuato, P.O. Box E-143, 37150 León Gto., México (Dated: June 4, 2005) Abstract A non-Abelian Born-Infeld theory is presented. The square root structure that characterizes the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action does not appear. The procedure is based on an Abelian theory proposed by Erwin Schrödinger that, as he showed, is equivalent to Born-Infeld theory. We briefly mention other possible similar proposals. Our results could be of interest in connection with string theory and possible extensions of well known physical results in the usual Born-Infeld Abelian case.

1 99 8 Supersymmetric Non - Abelian Born - Infeld Theory
Using the natural curvature invariants as building blocks in a superfield construction, we show that the use of a symmetric trace is mandatory if one is to reproduce the square root structure of the non-Abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld Lagrangian in the bosonic sector. We also discuss the BPS relations in connection with our supersymmetry construction. UNLP-FOMEC Investigador CICBA CONICET 1 Dirac-Bor...
متن کاملFluctuation 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 کاملClassical glueballs in non-Abelian Born-Infeld theory.
It is shown that the Born-Infeld-type modification of the quadratic Yang-Mills action gives rise to classical particlelike solutions prohibited in the standard Yang-Mills theory. This becomes possible due to breaking of the scale invariance by the Born-Infeld nonlinearity. New classical glueballs, which are of a sphaleronic nature, exhibit a striking similarity to the Bartnik-McKinnon solutions...
متن کاملSupersymmetric non-abelian Born-Infeld revisited
We determine the non-abelian Born-Infeld action, including fermions, as it results from the four-point tree-level open superstring scattering amplitudes at order α′2. We find that, after an appropriate field redefinition all terms at this order can be written as a symmetrised trace. We confront this action with the results that follow from kappa-symmetry and conclude that the recently proposed ...
