Born-Infeld particles and Dirichlet p-branes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of Dirichlet p-branes as the ends of strings intersecting the brane when the effects of gravity are ignored, and show that certain special Lagrangian submanifolds of C p, p = 3, 4, 5, may be regarded as supersymmetric configurations consisting of pbranes at angles joined by throats which are the sources of global monopoles.

Eleven-dimensional origin of string-string duality: A One loop test
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reproduce the corrections to the 3-form field equations of the D = 10 Type IIA string (a mixture of tree-level and one-loop effects).

New regular black hole solution from nonlinear electrodynamics
Eloy Ayón-Beato,Alberto García +1 more
TL;DR: Using a nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to General Relativity, a new regular exact black hole solution was found in this paper, where the nonlinear theory reduces to the Maxwell one in the weak limit, and the solution corresponds to a charged black hole for |q|≤2s c m≈1.05 m, with metric, curvature invariants, and electric field regular everywhere.

Born-Infeld action, supersymmetry and string theory
TL;DR: In this article, Born-Infeld action and its supersymmetric generalizations in connection with string theory are reviewed and elaborate on some aspects of Born-infeld action, and some properties of bosonic D=4 BI action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-duality of Born-Infeld action and Dirichlet 3-brane of type IIB superstring theory
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the action of 3-brane of type IIB superstring theory is SL(2,Z) self-dual, which implies that it can play a special role in Type IIB theory and also suggests a possibility of its 12-dimensional reformulation.

Consequences of Dirac's theory of positrons
W. Heisenberg,H. Euler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared Dirac's theory of the positron to those proposed by Born and showed that the field strength of large fields differs strongly from those of small fields.

Non-linear electrodynamics from quantized strings
E.S. Fradkin,Arkady A. Tseytlin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effective action for an abelian vector field coupled to the virtual open Bose string was computed in the tree and one-loop approximation for the string theory.

String theory and black holes.
TL;DR: An exact conformal field theory describing a black hole in two-dimensional space-time is found as an SL(2,{ital openR})/U(1) gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model, which should be regarded as an analog of the extreme Reissner-Nordstroem black hole of four-dimensional general relativity.

Duality rotations for interacting fields
Mary K. Gaillard,Bruno Zumino +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the properties of interacting field theories which are invariant under duality rotations which transform a vector field strength into its dual, and show that the largest group for n interacting field strengths is the non-compact Sp(2 n,R), which has U( n ) as its maximal compact subgroup.

Loop corrections to superstring equations of motion
TL;DR: In this article, the O(32) superstring has been renormalized by cancelling BRST anomalies between different genus worldsheets, and the loop-order source terms which necessarily break conformal invariance are added to these equations.
