Super D-branes
E. Bergshoeff, P. K. Townsend
We present a manifestly Lorentz invariant, spacetime supersymmetric, and `-invariant' worldvolume action for all type II Dirichlet p-branes, , in a general type II superg…
Brane Surgery
P. K. Townsend
Some aspects of the role of p-branes in non-perturbative superstring theory and M-theory are reviewed. It is then shown how the Chern-Simons terms in D=10 and D=11 supergravity the…
Domain Walls in Massive Supergravities
P. M. Cowdall, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +2
We show how toroidally-compactified eleven-dimensional supergravity can be consistently truncated to yield a variety of maximally-supersymmetric ``massive'' supergravities in space…
Domain Walls from Anti-de Sitter Spacetime
H. Lu, C. N. Pope, P. K. Townsend
We examine -brane solutions in supergravities, showing that they fall into four categories depending on the details of the dilaton coupling. In general they describe domain…
Dyonic p-branes from self-dual (p+1)-branes
M. B. Green, N. D. Lambert, G. Papadopoulos +1
The `electromagnetic' $Sl(2;\bZ)$ duality group in spacetime dimension can be given a Kaluza-Klein interpretation in as the modular group of a compactifying torus.…
D-brane Wess--Zumino actions, T-duality and the cosmological constant
Michael B. Green, Christopher M. Hull, Paul K. Townsend
A geometrical formulation of the T-duality rules for type II superstring Ramond--Ramond fields is presented. This is used to derive the Wess-Zumino terms in superstring D-brane act…
