We study derivative corrections to the effective action for a single D-brane in type II superstring theory coupled to constant background fields. In particular, within this setting we determine the complete expression for the (disk level) four-derivative corrections to the Born-Infeld part of the action. We also determine 2n-form 2n-derivative corrections to the Wess-Zumino term. Both types of corrections involve all orders of the gauge field strength, F. The results are obtained via string sigma-model loop calculations using the boundary state operator language. The corrections can be succinctly written in terms of the Riemann tensor for a non-symmetric metric.

  1. Heat kernel approach to the one-loop effective action for nonlinear electrodynamics

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A heat kernel technique is developed to compute the one-loop effective action for general nonlinear electrodynamics, yielding a0-a2 coefficients in the weak-field regime and all-order a0 for conformal cases with causa...
