In the same way: supersymmetric D-branes �
generalized calibrations
Open string moduli � deformations of generalizedcalibrations

Calibrations
A way to find minimal volumes surface in a curvedspace
Second-order equations � first-order equations
Analogous to self-duality solves Yang-Mills equations
Or more generally BPS equations solve equations ofmotion

D-flatness and F-flatness conditions
Saturating bound consists of two parts

is generalized complex submanifold withrespect to

This becomes an F-flatness condition in the4d-effective theory

: analogous to the ‘special’ in speciallagrangianThis becomes a D-flatness condition in the4d-effective theory
We will study the deformations of these conditionsseparately!
