Open Strings in a B-field Background as Electric Dipoles

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-07 v1

Abstract

Studying dynamics of open strings attached to a D2-brane in a NS two form field background, we find that these open strings act as dipoles of U(1) gauge field of the brane. This provides an string theoretic description of the flux modifications needed for the DBI action on noncommutative torus.
