D0 and D1 Brane With $\kappa_-$ and $\kappa_+$ Extended Symmetry

Abstract

D0 brane (D-particle) and D1 brane actions possess first and second class constraints that result in local κ\kappa symmetry. The κ\kappa symmetry of the D-particle and the D1 brane is extended here into a larger symmetry (κ\kappa_- and κ+\kappa_+) in a larger phase space by turning second class constraints into first class. Different gauge fixings of these symmetries result in different presentations of these systems while a "unitary" gauge fixing of the new κ+ \kappa_+ symmetry retrieves the original action with κ=κ\kappa_- = \kappa symmetry. For D1 brane our extended phase space makes all constraints into first class in the case of vanishing world sheet electric field (namely (0,1)(0, 1) string).
