We derive the actions for type II Green-Schwarz strings up to second order in the fermions, for general bosonic backgrounds. We base our work on the so-called normal coordinate expansion. The resulting actions are $\kappa$-symmetric and,…
We construct the low energy effective action for the bosonic sector on a Dp-brane in large constant RR (p-1)-form field background. The action is invariant under both U(1) gauge symmetry and the volume-preserving diffeomorphism…
T-duality realized on D-brane effective actions is studied from a pure worldvolume point of view. It is proved that invariance in the form of the Dirac-Born-Infeld and Wess-Zumino terms fixes the T-duality transformations of the NS-NS and…
T-duality realized on SuperD-brane effective actions probing in constant $G_{mn}$ and $b_{mn}$ backgrounds is studied from a pure world volume point of view. It is proved that requiring {\em T-duality covariance} of such actions ``fixes''…
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…
The understanding of the fermionic sector of the worldvolume D-brane dynamics on a general background with fluxes is crucial in several branches of string theory, like for example the study of nonperturbative effects or the construction of…
We use the superspace formulation of supergravity in eleven and ten dimensions to compute fermion couplings on the M2-brane and on D$p$-branes. In this formulation fermionic couplings arise naturally from the $\theta$-expansion of the…
We attempt to generalize the effective action for the D-brane-anti-D-brane system obtained from boundary superstring field theory (BSFT) by adding an extra D-brane to it to obtain a covariantized action for 2 D-branes and 1 anti-D-brane. We…
We discuss an alternative form of the supersymmetric D-$p$-brane action which is quadratic in derivatives of $X$ and linear in $F_{\mu \nu}$. This action involves an auxiliary worldvolume tensor and generalises the simplification of the…
We find the terms in the nonabelian world-volume action of a system of many Dp-branes which describe the leading coupling to all type II supergravity background fields. These results are found by T-dualizing earlier results for D0-branes,…
We show how the $T$--duality between $D$--branes is realized (i) on $p$--brane solutions $(p=0,\cdots ,9)$ of IIA/IIB supergravity and (ii) on the $D$--brane actions ($p=0,\cdots ,3)$ that act as source terms for the $p$--brane solutions.…
We extend the usual world-volume action for a Dp-brane to the case of N coincident Dp-branes where the world-volume theory involves a U(N) gauge theory. The guiding principle in our construction is that the action should be consistent with…
In bosonic string theory, it is known that the Buscher rules for the T-duality transformations receive quantum corrections at order $\alpha'$. In this paper, we use the consistency of the gravity couplings on the D-brane effective action at…
We introduce a new first order formulation of world-volume actions for p-branes with k-supersymmetry. In this language, which involves more auxiliary fields compensated by more local symmetries, the action is provided by a very compact,…
We study D-brane actions in non-relativistic string theory. We consider single D-brane and analyse its properties under T-duality. We also derive an action for N D8-branes and also for lower dimensional D-branes through T-duality…
