The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v3. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

We consider two inequivalent truncations of the super D9--brane: the ``Heterotic'' and the ``Type I'' truncation. Both of them lead to an N=1 nonlinear supersymmetrization of the D=10 cosmological constant. The propagating degrees of freedom in the Heterotic and Type I truncation are given by the components of a D=10 vector multiplet and a single Majorana-Weyl spinor, respectively. As a by-product we find that, after the Type I truncation, the Ramond-Ramond super ten-form provides an interesting reformulation of the Volkov-Akulov action. These results can be extended to all dimensions in which spacetime filling D-branes exist, i.e. D=3,4,6 and 10.

The paper

Original abstract

We consider two inequivalent truncations of the super D9--brane: the ``Heterotic'' and the ``Type I'' truncation. Both of them lead to an N=1 nonlinear supersymmetrization of the D=10 cosmological constant. The propagating degrees of freedom in the Heterotic and Type I truncation are given by the components of a D=10 vector multiplet and a single Majorana-Weyl spinor, respectively. As a by-product we find that, after the Type I truncation, the Ramond-Ramond super ten-form provides an interesting reformulation of the Volkov-Akulov action. These results can be extended to all dimensions in which spacetime filling D-branes exist, i.e. D=3,4,6 and 10.

IIA Ten-forms and the Gauge Algebras of Maximal Supergravity Theories
hep-th 2006-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

IIA supergravity admits exactly two 10-form potentials, only one of which can couple to a BPS 9-brane, and the resulting non-Abelian gauge algebra lines up with E11 predictions.
Emergence of Spontaneously Broken Supersymmetry on an Anti-D3-Brane in KKLT dS Vacua
hep-th 2014-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

With an orientifold-compatible kappa-gauge, the anti-D3-brane's DBI and Wess-Zumino terms add to twice the Volkov-Akulov action while the D3-brane's cancel, giving the KKLT uplift a goldstino origin in flat space.
New Formulations of D=10 Supersymmetry and D8-O8 Domain Walls
hep-th 2001-03 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

A new dual formulation of Type IIA supergravity, coupled to a supersymmetric O8-plane action, gives a BPS D8-O8 domain-wall solution with mass quantized in string units and a maximum wall separation set by the string ...
$\overline{\rm D3}$ and dS
hep-th 2015-02 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

In a GKP flux background the anti-D3 brane's DBI and WZ terms double while the D3 brane's cancel, and primitive (2,1) flux gives the SU(3) fermion triplet a mass while leaving the singlet goldstino massless.

Each citing sentence is taken from the citing paper's LaTeX source and typed by Pith's classifier. A label appears at probability 0.8 or more (0.95 for support), a contest at 0.7 or more; the quoted words are the citing authors'. How each label was checked · JSON

Such a potential must exist because of T-duality, and is known to couple to the D9-branes [ref] and is required for its action to be kappa-symmetric.[As in the IIA case, more potentials than this can be defined, however they generally are not required for our purposes, though we do briefly consider a 10-form potential $B^(10)$ which should presumably appear in one of our 9-form charges.

A partially “democratic” formulation of these theories, where all the RR fields are introduced together with their magnetic duals, was given in [ref] and [ref] .
