Abstract
We propose a form of the effective action of the tachyon and gauge fields f or brane-antibrane systems and non-BPS Dp-branes, written in terms of the s upercurvature. Kink and vortex solutions with constant infinite gauge field strength reproduce the exact tensions of the lower-dimensional D-branes. W e discuss the relation to BSFT and other models in the literature. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
