Born-Infeld Action and Its Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
This dissertation is a review for the Born-Infeld action. An introduction of bosonic string theory and the object D-brane are given with its light-cone quantization procedure. We then explain the method of obtaining effective action. The derivation for the Born-Infeld action as an effective theory is presented. Later we discuss the properties, supersymmetric extensions, and applications of the Born-Infeld action. The thesis aims at an elementary and self-contained level. In the bosonic string theory part, the derivation outside the lectured courses of Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces (QFFF) program 2012-2013 will be presented in detail. No originality is claimed.

Many Faces of Born-Infeld Theory
Born-Infeld theory is the non-linear generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics. It naturally arises as the low-energy effective action of open strings, and it is also part of the world-volume effective action of D-branes. The N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric generalizations of the Born-Infeld action are closely related to partial spontaneous breaking of rigid extended supersymmetry. We review som...

I discuss the symmetry structure of the N=2 supersymmetric extension of the Born-Infeld action in four dimensions, and confirm its interpretation as the Goldstone-Maxwell action associated with partial breaking of N=4 extended supersymmetry down to N=2, by revealing a hidden invariance of the action with respect to two non-linearly realized supersymmetries and two spontaneously broken translati...
متن کامل4d, N = 1 Born-infeld Supergravity
We propose the 4D, N = 1 supergravitational analogues (avatars) of the 4D, N = 1 supersymmetric Born-Infeld action in four dimensions for the first time, by using superspace. In particular, a new Born-Infeld type generalization of the Weyl supergravity action is given. A natural new Born-Infeld type generalization of the Einstein supergravity is found as well. We also brielfy discuss a construc...

متن کاملNoncommutative Dirac-Born-Infeld Action for D-brane
We derive the noncommutative Dirac-Born-Infeld action for the D-brane, which governs dynamics of D-brane with a NS-NS B-field in the low energy regime. Depending on some details of the path integral prescriptions, both ordinary Dirac-Born-Infeld action and noncommutative one can be obtained by evaluating the same Polyakov string path integral for the open string ending on the D-brane. Thus, it ...
