We consider a supersymmetric extension of the SL(2;Z)-covariant D3-brane action proposed by Nurmagambetov, and prove its kappa-symmetry in an on-shell type-IIB supergravity background.
The new first order, rheonomic, kappa-supersymmetric formalism recently introduced by us for the world-volume action of the D3-brane is extended to the case of D5-branes. This extension requires the dual formulation of the Free Differential…
It is shown in a quantum-mechanically exact manner that a supersymmetric and $\kappa$-symmetric D-string action in a general type IIB supergravity background is transformed to a form of the type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring action with the…
We determine a manifestly SL(2,Z)-covariant kappa-symmetric action for the type IIB (p,q) five-branes as a perturbative expansion in the world-volume field strengths within the framework where the brane tension is generated by a…
We show that supersymmetric and $\kappa$-symmetric Dp-brane actions in type II supergravity background have the same duality transformation properties as those in a flat Minkowskian background. Specially, it is shown that the super D-string…
We review the construction of a manifestly covariant, supersymmetric and SL(2R) invariant action for IIB supergravity in D=10.
An alternative path is taken for deriving an action for the supersymmetric 5-brane in 11 dimensions. Selfduality does not follow from the action, but is consistent with the equations of motion for arbitrary supergravity backgrounds. The…
We present a manifestly Sl(2;Z)-covariant action for the type IIB superstring, and prove kappa-symmetry for on-shell IIB supergravity backgrounds.
We propose a method for constructing super-brane actions where every background tensor potential corresponds to a world-volume field strength. The procedure provides a natural coupling to the background and automatically displays the…
The standard eleven-dimensional supergravity action depends on a three-form gauge field and does not allow direct coupling to five-branes. Using previously developed methods, we construct a covariant eleven-dimensional supergravity action…
We give the full supersymmetric and kappa-symmetric actions for the Dirichlet p-branes, including their coupling to background superfields of ten-dimensional type IIA and IIB supergravity.
In this work, we extend a theory which describes a linearly self-dual exact 3-form field in six dimensional spacetime within the formalism of arXiv:1511.08220 and arXiv:1903.12196 to an action which fully describes an M5-brane in the…
We give the full supersymmetric and kappa-symmetric action for the Dirichlet three-brane, including its coupling to background superfields of ten-dimensional type IIB supergravity.
We show that each rigid symmetry of a D-string action is contained in a family of infinitely many symmetries. In particular, kappa-invariant D-string actions have infinitely many supersymmetries. The result is not restricted to standard…
The superfield equations of massive IIA supergravity, in the form of constraints on the superspace geometry, are shown to be implied by $\kappa$-symmetry of the topologically massive D-2-brane.
In this article we derive the full interacting effective actions for supersymmetric D-branes in arbitrary bosonic type II supergravity backgrounds. The actions are presented in terms of component fields up to second order in fermions. As…
Dual super Dp-brane actions are constructed by carrying out a duality transformation of the world-volume U(1) gauge field. The resulting world-volume actions, which contain a (p - 2)-form gauge field, are shown to have the expected…
We recast the result of our recent computation of the quartic action of ten-dimensional IIB supergravity in a manifestly SL(2,R)-covariant form. This affords us a critical assessment of an earlier conjecture in the literature.
We discuss supersymmetry in twelve dimensions and present a covariant supersymmetric action for a brane with worldsheet signature (2,2), called a super (2+2)-brane, propagating in the osp(64,12) superspace. This superspace is explicitly…
We examine duality transformations of supersymmetric and $\kappa$-symmetric Dp-brane actions in a general type II supergravity background where in particular the dilaton and the axion are supposed to not be zero or a constant but a general…
