Open Strings in a B-field Background as Electric Dipoles

Abstract
Studying dynamics of open strings attached to a D2-brane in a NS two form field background, we find that these open strings act as dipoles of U(1) gauge field of the brane. This provides an string theoretic description of the flux modifications needed for the DBI action on noncommutative torus.
