The Coupling of Yang-Mills to Extended Objects

arXiv:hep-th/9201019 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(92)90391-G

Abstract

The coupling of Yang-Mills fields to the heterotic string in bosonic formulation is generalized to extended objects of higher dimension (p-branes). For odd p, the Bianchi identities obeyed by the field strengths of the (p+1)-forms receive Chern-Simons corrections which, in the case of the 5-brane, are consistent with an earlier conjecture based on string/5-brane duality.
