Findings

Polchinski's formula influences gravitational and gauge couplings.
Implications for quantum exactness of the effective action.
Abstract
We point out that some M-theory results for brane tension can be derived from Polchinski's formula for D-brane tension. We also argue that this formula determines gravitational and gauge couplings in the low energy but quantum exact effective action.
