On gravitational couplings in D-brane action
Abstract
We compute the two closed string graviton - two open string scalar scattering amplitude on the disc to show that there is no second-derivative curvature - scalar coupling term R X2 in the low-energy effective action of a D-brane in curved space in type II superstring theory.
