Abstract

It is shown that there are logarithmic operators in D-brane backgrounds that lead to infrared divergences in open string loop amplitudes. These divergences can be cancelled by changing the closed string background by operators that correspond to the D-brane moving with constant velocity after some instant in time, since it is precisely such operators that give rise to the appropriate ultraviolet divergences in the closed string channel.
