Local Actions with Electric and Magnetic Sources
arXiv:hep-th/9610134 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)00036-1
Abstract
Superstring field theory was recently used to derive a covariant action for a self-dual five-form field strength. This action is shown to be a ten-dimensional version of the McClain-Wu-Yu action. By coupling to D-branes, it can be generalized in the presence of sources. In four dimensions, this gives a local Maxwell action with electric and magnetic sources.
