On Superconnections and the Tachyon Effective Action
arXiv:hep-th/0012222 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(01)00175-7
Abstract
We propose a form of the effective action of the tachyon and gauge fields for brane-antibrane systems and non-BPS Dp-branes, written in terms of the supercurvature. Kink and vortex solutions with constant infinite gauge field strength reproduce the exact tensions of the lower-dimensional D-branes. We discuss the relation to BSFT and other models in the literature.
