Kinky D-branes and straight strings of open string tachyon effective theory
Luca Martucci, Pedro J. Silva
In this letter we construct the kink D1-brane super D-helix solution and its T-dual the D2-brane supertube using the effective action of non-BPS tachyonic D-branes . In the limit o…
Actions and Fermionic symmetries for D-branes in bosonic backgrounds
Donald Marolf, Luca Martucci, Pedro J. Silva
In this article we derive the full interacting effective actions for supersymmetric D-branes in arbitrary bosonic type II supergravity backgrounds. The actions are presented in ter…
Supertubes in reduced holonomy manifolds
Joaquim Gomis, Toni Mateos, Pedro J. Silva +1
We show that the supertube configurations exist in all supersymmetric type IIA backgrounds which are purely geometrical and which have, at least, one flat direction. In other words…
Fermions, T-duality and effective actions for D-branes in bosonic backgrounds
Donald Marolf, Luca Martucci, Pedro J. Silva
We find the effective action for any D-brane in a general bosonic background of supergravity. The results are explicit in component fields up to second order in the fermions and ar…
On type II superstrings in bosonic backgrounds: the role of fermions and T-duality
Luca Martucci, Pedro J. Silva
We derive the actions for type II Green-Schwarz strings up to second order in the fermions, for general bosonic backgrounds. We base our work on the so-called normal coordinate exp…
YM on the dielectric brane: a D0-brane tale
Luca Martucci, Pedro J. Silva
In this letter we present a derivation, from the D0-brane picture, of the background monopole field and in general of the full dynamics of the Yang-Mills theory on the dielectric D…
