چکیده
Couplings between a closed string RR field and open strings are calculated in a system of coincident branes and antibranes of type II theory. The result can be written cleanly using the curvature of the superconnection.

Superconnections, Anomalies and Non-BPS Brane Charges
The properties of brane-antibrane systems and systems of unstable D-branes in Type II superstring theory are investigated using the formalism of superconnections. The low-energy open string dynamics is shown to be probed by generalized Dirac operators. The corresponding index theorems are used to compute the chiral gauge anomalies in these systems, and hence their gravitational and Ramond-Ramon...
متن کاملI-Brane Inflow and Anomalous Couplings on D-Branes
We show that the anomalous couplings of D-brane gauge and gravitational fields to Ramond-Ramond tensor potentials can be deduced by a simple anomaly inflow argument applied to intersecting D-branes and use this to determine the eight-form gravitational
متن کاملBlack Holes with Multiple Charges and the Correspondence Principle
We consider the entropy of near extremal black holes with multiple charges in the context of the recently proposed correspondence principle of Horowitz and Polchinski, including black holes with two, three and four Ramond-Ramond charges. We find that at the matching point the black hole entropy can be accounted for by massless open strings ending on the D-branes for all cases except a black hol...
متن کاملGravitational Couplings of D-branes and O-planes
An explicit calculation is performed to check all the tangent bundle gravitational couplings of Dirichlet branes and Orientifold planes by scattering q gravitons with a p+1 form Ramond-Ramond potential in the world-volume of a D(p + 2q)-brane. The structure of the D-brane Wess-Zumino term in the world-volume action is confirmed, while a different O-plane Wess-Zumino action is obtained. E-mail a...
متن کاملRamond-Ramond couplings of non-BPS D-branes
We study how non-BPS type II D-branes couple to R-R potentials. Upon tachyon condensation the couplings we find give rise to the Wess-Zumino action of BPS D-branes. In a seminal series of papers, Sen has shown how to obtain an exact conformal field theory description of non-BPS D-branes (see [1] for two of the main papers and two recent reviews). In this setup, a non-BPS D(p − 1)-brane remains ...
