Collective coordinates for D-branes

arXiv:hep-th/9604014 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(96)00556-4

Abstract

We develope a formalism for the scattering off D-branes that includes collective coordinates. This allows a systematic expansion in the string coupling constant for such processes, including a worldsheet calculation for the D-brane's mass.
