A geometrical formulation of the T-duality rules for type II superstring Ramond--Ramond fields is presented. This is used to derive the Wess-Zumino terms in superstring D-brane actions, including terms proportional to the mass parameter of the IIA theory, thereby completing partial results in the literature. For non-abelian world-volume gauge groups the massive type IIA D-brane actions contain non-abelian Chern--Simons terms for the Born--Infeld gauge potential, implying a quantization of the IIA cosmological constant.

  1. 3-form dark energy and cosmic birefringence

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    3-form dark energy can explain cosmic birefringence with a dimension-4 photon coupling, yielding redshift profiles that can mimic or differ from axion dark energy, but the implied photon mass estimate is numerically shaky.
