p-Brane Action from Gravi-Dilaton Effective Action

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

Using a special ansatz for the metric, by straightforward computation we prove that gravi-dilaton effective action in higher dimensions is reduced to the p-brane action. The dual symmetry of the generic type %a\longleftrightarrow \frac 1a is an important symmetry of the reduced action.
