Holomorphic variables in magnetized brane models with continuous Wilson lines

9 pages, no figuresWe analyze the action of the target-space modular group in toroidal type IIB orientifold compactifications with magnetized D-branes and continuous Wilson lines. The transformation of matter fields agree with that of twisted fields in heterotic compactifications, constituting a check of type I/heterotic duality. We identify the holomorphic N = 1 variables for these compactifications. Matter fields and closed string moduli are both redefined by open string moduli. These redefinitions can be related by means of the D-brane instanton calculus. The resulting expressions reproduce and generalize previous results in the literature
