Abstract

We introduce and review several indirect methods to calculate the effective action for a single D‐brane or a set of coinciding D‐branes.

We report on a calculation of the β-functions for an open string σ-model in the presence of a U (1) background. Passing to N = 2 boundary superspace significantly facilitates the calculation. Performing the calculation through three loops yields the equations of motion up to five derivatives on the

## Abstract In this review article we study type IIB superstring compactifications in the presence of space‐time filling D‐branes while preserving 𝒩=1 supersymmetry in the effective four‐dimensional theory. This amount of unbroken supersymmetry and the requirement to fulfill the consistency conditi

## Abstract In this Ph.D. thesis, accepted at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, we review and elaborate on a method to find the D‐brane effective action, based on BPS equations. Firstly, both for the Yang‐Mills action and the Born‐Infeld action it is shown that these configurations are indeed BPS, i.

## Abstract The new first order, rheonomic, κ–supersymmetric formalism recently introduced by us for the world‐volume action of the __D__3 brane is extended to the case of __D__5 branes. This extension requires the dual formulation of the Free Differential Algebra of type IIB supergravity in terms
