Comments on Born-Infeld Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The low-energy effective action of supersymmetric D-brane systems consists of two terms, one of which is of the Born-Infeld type and one of which is of the Chern-Simons type. I briefly review the status of our understanding of these terms for both the Abelian and non-Abelian cases.
