abstract

• We present a geometrical inspired study of the dynamics of Dp-branes. We focus on the usual nonpolynomial Dirac-Born-Infeld action for the worldvolume swept out by the brane in its evolution in general background spacetimes. We emphasize the form of the resulting equations of motion which are quite simple and resemble Newton%27s second law, complemented with a conservation law for a worldvolume bicurrent. © 2007 IOP Publishing Ltd.
