We discuss the general structure of the non-abelian Born-Infeld action, together with all of the alpha-prime derivative corrections, in flat D-dimensional space-time. More specifically, we show how the connection between open strings…

The leading terms in the tree-level effective action for the massless fields of the bosonic open string are calculated by integrating out all massive fields in Witten's cubic string field theory. In both the abelian and nonabelian theories,…

We review a method to find the non-abelian open superstring effective action, thereby settling the issue of the ordering ambiguities. We start from solutions to Yang-Mills which, in D-brane context, define certain BPS configurations.…

We attempt to settle the issue as to what is the correct non-abelian generalisation of the Born-Infeld action, via a consideration of the two-loop $\beta$--function for the non-abelian background gauge field in open string theory. An…

To gain insight into the non-abelian Born-Infeld (NBI) action, we study coinciding D-branes wrapped on tori, and turn on magnetic fields on their worldvolume. We then compare predictions for the spectrum of open strings stretching between…

Born-Infeld theory is the non-linear generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics. It naturally arises as the low-energy effective action of open strings, and it is also part of the world-volume effective action of D-branes. The N=1 and N=2…

In whatever Lorentz invariant theory, the presence of extended d-dimensional objects inside a higher dimensional bulk space-time, like for instance D-branes in string theories, induces a spontaneous breakdown of the Poincare' invariance of…

We review and elaborate on some aspects of Born-Infeld action and its supersymmetric generalizations in connection with string theory. Contents: BI action from string theory; some properties of bosonic D=4 BI action; N=1 and N=2…

We derive the noncommutative Dirac-Born-Infeld action for the $D$-brane, which governs dynamics of $D$-brane with a NS-NS $B$-field in the low energy regime. Depending on some details of the path integral prescriptions, both ordinary…

Motivated by the results of Hashimoto and Taylor, we perform a detailed study of the mass spectrum of the non-abelian Born-Infeld theory, defined by the symmetrized trace prescription, on tori with constant magnetic fields turned on.…

{We carry out a fluctuation analysis of the non-abelian Born-Infeld action up to order F^6 in the presence of a background intersecting D-branes system. We compare the mass spectrum which is obtained in our analysis to the spectrum derived…

In this paper we explicitly show the equivalence between the non-Abelian Born-Infeld action, which was proposed by Tseytlin as an effective action on several D-branes, and its noncommutative counterpart for slowly varying fields. This…

We consider the spectra of excitations around diagonal and intersecting D-brane configurations on tori. These configurations are described by constant curvature connections in a dual gauge theory description. The low-energy string…

We discuss some aspects of the generalization of the Born-Infeld action to non-abelian gauge groups and show how the discrepancy between Tseytlin's symmetrized trace proposal and string theory can be corrected at order $F^6$. We also…

Connection between the partition function for the 2D sigma model with boundary pertubations and the low energy effective action for massless fields from in the open string theory is discussed. In the non-abelian case with a stack of $N$…

By integrating the Seiberg-Witten differential equation in a special path, we write ordinary gauge fields in terms of their non-commutative counterparts up to three non-commutative gauge fields. We then use this change of variables to write…

In this thesis I present applications of the Born-Infeld action to the description of D-branes, mostly in the context of type IIB string theory. First I present the Callan-Maldacena construction of a fundamental string attached to a…

We show that the connection between partial breaking of supersymmetry and nonlinear actions is not accidental and has to do with constraints that lead directly to nonlinear actions of the Born-Infeld type. We develop a constrained…

We determine the consistent D-brane configurations in type II nonsupersymmetric Melvin Background. The D-branes are analysed from three complementary points of view: the effective Born-Infeld action, the open string partition function and…

The Dirac action describes the physics of the Nambu-Goldstone scalars found on branes. The Born-Infeld action defines a non-linear theory of electrodynamics. The combined Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action describes the leading interactions…
