Description

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 field-strengths, which upon integration gives the bosonic sector of the effective action for a single D-brane in trivial bulk background fields through four derivatives and to all orders in α'
