Abstract

The relation among spacetime supersymmetry algebras and superbrane actions is further explored. It is proved that SL(2,\bR)SL(2,\bR) belongs to the automorphism group of the N=2{\cal N}=2 D=10 type IIB SuperPoincar\'e algebra. Its SO(2) subgroup is identified with a non-local SO(2) transformation found in hep-th/9806161. Performing T-duality, new non-local transformations are found in type IIA relating, among others, BIon configurations with two D2-branes intersecting at a point. Its M-theory origin is explained. These results show that part of the SuperPoincar\'e algebra automorphism group might be realized on the field theory as non-local transformations.
