Abstract

In this manuscript we study the Dirac action in the presence of the Ramond-Ramond (R-R) potentials as gauge fields. Therefore, for the R-R field Aμ1...μp+1A_{\mu_1...\mu_{p+1}}, we identify the corresponding fermion with an extended pp-dimensional object, which we call it Fpp-brane. Conservation of the tensor currents, associated to these fermionic branes, imposes an external tensor current. This external current enables us to study the R-R fields and their Hodge dual fields as independent degrees of freedom. We observe that an Fpp-brane should live with its dual brane, i.e.i.e. F(dp2)(d-p-2)-brane. The gauge symmetry and some other properties of a system of an Fpp-brane and its dual object will be discussed.
