Abstract

It is shown that the generalized (with nonpolynomial Lagrangian) Chern-Simons membranes and in general pp-branes moving in DD-dimensional target space admit an infinite set of secondary constraints. With respect to the Poisson bracket these constraints satisfy closed algebra containing pp-dimensional classical WW algebra as a subalgebra. In the case when the target space dimension DD is finite the theory is topological.
