T-duality of D-brane action at order $\alpha'$ in bosonic string theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-16 v2

Abstract

In bosonic string theory, it is known that the Buscher rules for the T-duality transformations receive quantum corrections at order α\alpha'. In this paper, we use the consistency of the gravity couplings on the D-brane effective action at order α\alpha', with the above T-duality transformations to find the B-field and the dilaton couplings. We show that these couplings are fully consistent with the corresponding disk-level S-matrix elements in string theory.
