Supersymmetric D3 brane action in AdS_5 x S^5

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-17 v2

Abstract

We find the space-time supersymmetric and kappa-invariant action for a D3-brane propagating in the AdS_5 x S^5 background. As in the previous construction of the fundamental string action in this maximally supersymmetric string vacuum the starting point is the corresponding superalgebra su(2,2|4). We comment on the super Yang-Mills interpretation of the gauge-fixed form of the action.
