Limits of the D-brane action

Abstract

For background geometries whose metric contain a scale $\gamma$ we reformulate the Born-Infeld D-brane action in terms of $\epsilon \equiv \gamma /(2\pi {\alpha }^{\prime })$. This may be taken as a starting point for various perturbative treatments of the theory. We study two limits that arise at zeroth order of such perturbations. In the first limit, that corresponds to the $g_s\to \infty$ with $\epsilon$ fix, we find a "string parton" picture, also in the presense of some background RR-fields. In the second limit, $\epsilon \to 0$, we find a topological model.
