Certain gauge theories in four dimensions are known to admit semi-classicalD-brane solitons. These are domain walls on which vortex flux tubes may end.The purpose of this paper is to develop an open-string description of theseD-branes. The dynamics of the domain walls is shown to be governed by aChern-Simons-Higgs theory which, at the quantum level, captures the classical"closed string" scattering of domain wall solitons.Comment: 23 Pages, 3 figures. v2: reference adde
