Remarks on T-duality for open strings

  • 1. Humboldt-Universitaet, Berlin (Germany). Inst. fuer Physik

Description

This contribution gives in σ-model language a short review of recent work on T-duality for open strings in the presence of abelian or non-abelian gauge fields. Furthermore, it adds a critical discussion of the relation between RG β-functions and the Born-Infeld action in the case of a string coupled to a D-brane. (orig.)
