Superstring field theory was recently used to derive a covariant action for a self-dual five-form field strength. This action is shown to be a ten-dimensional version of the McClain-Wu-Yu action. By coupling to D-branes, it can be generalized in the presence of sources. In four dimensions, this gives a local Maxwell action with electric and magnetic sources.

Proposes a manifestly duality- and Lorentz-invariant local action for QED with monopoles derived from Sen's formalism using field strengths as dynamical variables, with consistent tree- and loop-level results.
