D-branes and T-duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We show how the TT--duality between DD--branes is realized (i) on pp--brane solutions (p=0,,9)(p=0,\cdots ,9) of IIA/IIB supergravity and (ii) on the DD--brane actions (p=0,,3)p=0,\cdots ,3) that act as source terms for the pp--brane solutions. We point out that the presence of a cosmological constant in the IIA theory leads, by the requirement of gauge invariance, to a topological mass term for the worldvolume gauge field in the 2--brane case.
