Abstract
We present a new general topological tensor current of -branes by making use of the -mapping theory. It is shown that the current is identically conserved and behave as and every isolated zero of the vector field corresponds to a `magnetic' -brane. Using this topological current, the generalized Nambu action for multi -branes is given, and the field strength corresponding to this topological tensor current is obtained. It is also shown that the `magnetic' charges carried by -branes are topologically quantized and labeled by Hopf index and Brouwer degree, the winding number of the -mapping.
