On the gauge invariance of the Chern-Simons action for N D-branes

Abstract
In this short note we provide a proof that the Chern-Simons part of the action for N D-branes is invariant under gauge transformations of the RR fields of the type C-p --> C-p + d Lambda (p-1), and rewrite the action in a form that makes this symmetry manifest.
