Abstract:
We show that a low-energy action for massless fluctuations around a tachyonic soliton
background representing a codimension one D-brane coincides with the Dirac-Born-Infeld
action. The scalar modes which describe transverse oscillations of the D-brane are translational
collective coordinates of the soliton. The appearance of the DBI action is a
universal feature independent of details of a tachyon effective action, provided it has the
structure implied by the open string sigma model partition function.
