D-branes in B Fields

Abstract
The RR Page charges for the D2-, D4-, D6-brane in B fields are constructed explicitly from the equations of motion and the nonvanishing (modified) Bianchi identities by exploiting their properties --- conserved and localized. It is found that the RR Page charges are independent of the backgound B fields, which provides further evidence that the RR Page charge should be quantized. In our construction, it is highly nontrivial that the terms like B x B x B, B x B x F, B x F x F from different sources are exactly cancelled with each other.
