Abstract

The theory of non-linear realizations is used to derive the dynamics of the branes of M theory. A crucial step in this procedure is to use the enlarged automorphism group of the supersymmetry algebra recently introduced. The field strengths of the worldvolume gauge fields arise as some of the Goldstone fields associated with this automorphism group. The relationship to the superembedding approach is given.
