One-loop corrections to the D3 brane action
Abstract
We calculate one-loop corrections to the effective Lagrangian for the D3 brane. We perform the gauge-fixing of the kappa-symmetric Born-Infeld D3 brane action in the flat background using Killing gauge. The linearized supersymmetry of the gauge-fixed action coincides with that of the N=4 Yang-Mills theory. We use the helicity amplitude and unitarity technique to calculate the one-loop amplitudes at order alpha4. The counterterms and the finite 1-loop corrections are of the form (dF)4 and their supersymmetric generalization. This is to be contrasted with the Born-Infeld action which contains (F)4 and other terms which do not depend on derivatives of the vector field strength.
