Kappa-symmetric Derivative Corrections to D-brane Dynamics

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We show how the superembedding formalism can be applied to construct manifestly kappa-symmetric higher derivative corrections for the D9-brane. We also show that all correction terms appear at even powers of the fundamental length scale ll. We explicitly construct the first potential correction, which corresponds to the kappa-symmetric version of the 4F4\partial^4 F^4, which one finds from the four-point amplitude of the open superstring.
