Abstract
Collective coordinate quantization of Dirichlet branes is discussed. Utilizing Polchinski's combinatoric rule, semiclassical D-brane wave functional is given in proper-time formalism. D-brane equation of motion is then identified with renormalization group equation of defining Dirichlet open string theory. Quantum mechanical size of macroscopically charged D-brane is illustrated and striking difference from ordinary field theory BPS particle is emphasized.
