The Super D9-Brane and its Truncations
arXiv:hep-th/9901055 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(99)00214-X
Abstract
We consider two inequivalent truncations of the super D9--brane: the ``Heterotic'' and the ``Type I'' truncation. Both of them lead to an N=1 nonlinear supersymmetrization of the D=10 cosmological constant. The propagating degrees of freedom in the Heterotic and Type I truncation are given by the components of a D=10 vector multiplet and a single Majorana-Weyl spinor, respectively. As a by-product we find that, after the Type I truncation, the Ramond-Ramond super ten-form provides an interesting reformulation of the Volkov-Akulov action. These results can be extended to all dimensions in which spacetime filling D-branes exist, i.e. D=3,4,6 and 10.
