Anomalous couplings for D-branes and O-planes
1999
We study anomalous Wess-Zumino couplings of D-branes and O-planes in a general background and derive them from a direct string computation by factorizing in the RR channel various one-loop amplitudes, In particular, we find that Op-planes present gravitational anomalous couplings involving the Hirzebruch polynomial (L) over cap, similarly to the roof genus (A) over cap encoding Dp-brane anomalous couplings, We determine, in each case, the precise dependence of these couplings on the curvature of the tangent and normal bundles.
