Topological Born-Infeld Actions and D-Branes

arXiv:hep-th/9907053

Abstract

We propose that the effective field theories of certain wrapped D-branes are given by topological actions based on Born-Infeld theory. In particular, we present a Born-Infeld version of the Abelian Donaldson-Witten theory. We then consider wrapping D3 branes on calibrated submanifolds and for the Calabi-Yau four-fold case, discuss how the resulting theory could give rise to a Born-Infeld version of the ampicheiral twisted N=4 super Yang-Mills topological field theory.
