Open String and Morita Equivalence of the Dirac-Born-Infeld Action with Modulus \Phi [PDF]

, 2000
Based on the canonical quantization of open strings ending on D-branes with a background B field, we construct the open string propagator. We demonstrate the relation between the T duality of the underlying string theory and the Morita equivalence of the
