Classically, the D4-branes are unaffected by this background. However, quantum (one-loop) effects are argued to lead to an induced density of D0-brane charge; e.g., D0-multipole moments on the D4-brane. The effect is divergent in field theory, but is expected to be cut-off naturally by stringy corrections.15 pages, Some changes in the implications for string theory after discussions with Friedel EppleHigh Energy Physics - TheoryQuantum Polarization of D4-branestext
