D-branes in B fields Original Research Article

The RR Page charges for the D2-, D4-, D6-brane in B fields are constructed explicitly from the equations of motion and the nonvanishing (modified) Bianchi identities by exploiting their properties — conserved and localized. It is found that the RR Page charges are independent of the background B fields, which provides further evidence that the RR Page charge should be quantized. In our construction, it is highly nontrivial that the terms like B∧B∧B, B∧B∧F, B∧F∧F from different sources are exactly cancelled with each other.
