Super D-branes
Abstract
We present a manifestly Lorentz invariant, space-time supersymmetric, and 'κ-invariant' worldvolume action for all type II Dirichlet p-branes, p ⩽ 9, in a general type II supergravity background, including massive backgrounds in the IIA case. The p = 0, 2 cases are rederived from D = 11. The p = 9 case provides a supersymmetrization of the D = 10 Born-Infeld action.
