One-loop corrections to the D3 brane action

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We calculate one-loop corrections to the effective Lagrangian for the D3 brane. We perform the gauge-fixing of the kappa-symmetric Born-Infeld D3 brane action in the flat background using Killing gauge. The linearized supersymmetry of the gauge-fixed action coincides with that of the N=4 Yang-Mills theory. We use the helicity amplitude and unitarity technique to calculate the one-loop amplitudes at order alpha^4. The counterterms and the finite 1-loop corrections are of the form (dF)^4 and their supersymmetric generalization. This is to be contrasted with the Born-Infeld action which contains (F)^4 and other terms which do not depend on derivatives of the vector field strength.
