Abstract:We present an action functional and derive equations of motion for a coupled system of a bosonic Dp-brane and an open string ending on the Dp-brane. With this example we address the key issues of the recently proposed method 1,2 for the construction of manifestly supersymmetric action functionals for interacting superbrane systems. We clarify, in particular, how the arbitrariness in sources localized on the intersection 1,2 is related to the standard description of the flat D-branes as rigid planes where the s… Show more

“…One can actually consider the action (42) with Lagrangian form (43), (44), extending formally the relations (20) to arbitrary forms on the worldsheet and worldvolume respectively. However, a more rigorous procedure (which actually could motivate formal manipulations of this type also in another context) consists in searching for an equivalent representation of the superstring and superbrane actions, whose Lagrangian form can be considered as a pull-back of the 10-dimensional forms.…”

We propose a method to obtain a manifestly supersymmetric action functional for interacting brane systems. It is based on the induced map of the worldvolume of low-dimensional branes into the worldvolume of the space-time filling brane ((D-1)-brane), which may be either dynamical or auxiliary, and implies an identification of Grassmann coordinate fields of lower dimensional branes with an image of the Grassmann coordinate fields of that (D-1)-brane. With this identification the covariant current distribution forms with support on the superbrane worldvolumes become invariant under the target space supersymmetry and can be used to write the coupled superbrane action as an integral over the D-dimensional manifolds ((D-1)-brane worldvolume). We compare the equations derived from this new ('Goldstone fermion embedded') action with the ones produced by a more straightforward generalization of the free brane actions based on the incorporation of the boundary terms with Lagrange multipliers ('superspace embedded' action). We find that both procedures produce the same equations of motion and thus justify each other. Both actions are presented explicitly for the coupled system of a D = 10 super-D3-brane and a fundamental superstring which ends on the super-D3-brane.

Found is the complete nonlinear action of multiple D0-brane system (mD0) in three dimensional type II superspace which is invariant under rigid D = 3 $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 spacetime supersymmetry and under local worldline supersymmetry generalizing the κ-symmetry of single D0-brane action. We show that a particular representative of this family of actions can be obtained by dimensional reduction of the action of D = 4 non-Abelian multiwaves (nAmW), the D = 4 counterpart of 11D multiple M-wave (mM0) action, that we have also constructed in this paper. This reduction results in an action with is nonlinear due to the presence of a certain function ℳ(ℋ) of the relative motion Hamiltonian ℋ, the counterpart of which enters the 4D nAmW action linearly. Curiously, the action possesses double supersymmetry also for an arbitrary function ℳ(ℋ). In particular for ℳ = const we find a dynamical system describing the sum of single D0 action and the action of 1d dimensional reduction of the D = 3 $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 SYM coupled to the worldline supergravity induced by the embedding of the center of energy motion into the D = 3 $$ \mathcal{N} $$

It is proved that a basic superembedding equation for the 2-dimensional worldsheet superspace Σ (2|8+8) embedded into D=10 type IIB superspace M (10|16+16) provides a universal, S-duality invariant description of a fundamental superstring and super-D1-brane. We work out generalized action principle, obtain superfield equations of motion for both these objects and find how the S-duality transformations relate the superfield equations of superstring and super-D1-brane.The superembedding of 6-dimensional worldsheet superspace Σ (6|16) into the D=10 type IIB superspace M (10|16+16) will probably provide a similar universal description for the set of type IIB super-NS5-brane, super-D5-brane and a Kaluza-Klein monopole (super-KK5-brane).
