A dynamical symmetry, as well as special diffeomorphism algebras generalizing the Witt-Virasoro algebra, related to Poincar\'e-invariance and crucial with regard to quantisation, questions of integrability, and M(atrix) theory, are found to…
Nonlinear equations of $p$-branes in $D=(2p+1)$-dimensional Minkowski space are discussed. Presented are new exact solutions for a set of spinning $p$-branes with $p=2,3,...,(D-1)/2$ and the Abelian symmetries $U(1)\times U(1)\times...…
The recently discovered dynamical symmetry for relativistic extended objects is derived from first principles, and analogues commutators are obtained for the corresponding formal quantum expressions
Coset methods are used to construct the action describing the dynamics associated with the spontaneous breaking of the Poincare symmetries of D dimensional space-time due to the embedding of a p-brane with codimension N=D-p-1. The resulting…
A static minimal energy configuration of a super p-brane in a supersymmetric (n+1)-dimensional spacetime is shown to be a `generalized calibrated' submanifold. Calibrations in $\bE^{(1,n)}$ and $AdS_{n+1}$ are special cases. We present…
Using canonical methods, we study the invariance properties of a bosonic $p$--brane propagating in a curved background locally diffeomorphic to $M\times G$, where $M$ is spacetime and $G$ a group manifold. The action is that of a gauged…
A master action for the bosonic p-brane, interpolating between the Nambu--Goto and Polyakov formalisms, is discussed. The fundamental arbitrariness of extended structures (p-brane) embeded in space time manifold has been exploited to build…
We formulate world-volume actions that describe the dynamics of Dirichlet p-branes in a flat 10d background. The fields in these theories consist of the 10d superspace coordinates and an abelian world-volume gauge field. The global…
We construct the consistent supersymmetric extensions of the operators describing the recoil of a D-brane and show that they realize an N=1 logarithmic superconformal algebra. The corresponding supersymmetric vertex operator is related to…
The conjectured symmetries of M-theory famously involve (1.) brane-extended super-symmetry (the M-algebra) and (2.) exceptional duality-symmetry (the $\mathfrak{e}_{11}$-algebra); but little attention has been given to their inevitable…
The bosonic actions for M2, D3 and M5 branes in their own d-dimensional near-horizon background are given in a manifestly SO(p+1,2) x SO(d-p-1) invariant form (p=2,3,5). These symmetries result from a breakdown of ISO(d,2) (with d=10 for D3…
We investigate the most general N=1 graded extension of the Poincare algebra, and find the corresponding supersymmetry transformations and the associated superspaces. We find that the supersymmetry for which {Q,Q} = P is not special, and in…
We present a geometrical inspired study of the dynamics of $Dp$-branes. We focus on the usual nonpolynomial Dirac-Born-Infeld action for the worldvolume swept out by the brane in its evolution in general background spacetimes. We emphasize…
In the Born-Infeld 'harmonic gauge' description of M-branes moving in R^{M+1} the underlying M+2 dimensional Poincare - invariance gives rise to an interesting system of conservation laws showing signs of integrability.
We discuss supersymmetry in twelve dimensions and present a covariant supersymmetric action for a brane with worldsheet signature (2,2), called a super (2+2)-brane, propagating in the osp(64,12) superspace. This superspace is explicitly…
We generalize a family of Lagrangians with values in the Poincar\'e group ISO(d-1,1), which contain the description of spinning strings in flat (d-1)+1 dimensions, by including symmetric terms in the world-sheet coordinates. Then, by…
Unique twistor--like Lorentz harmonic formulation for all N=1 supersymmetric extended objects (super-p-branes) moving in the space--time of arbitrary dimension D (admissible for given $p$) are suggested. The equations of motion are derived,…
Coset methods are used to construct the action describing the dynamics associated with the spontaneous breaking of the local Poincare symmetries of D dimensional space-time due to the embedding of a p-brane with codimension N=D-p-1. The…
In the present work we study dynamical space-time symmetries in noncommutative relativistic theories by using the minimal canonical extension of the Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts algebra. Our formalism is constructed in an extended…
We greatly simplify the light-cone gauge description of a relativistic membrane moving in Minkowski space by performing a field-dependent change of variables which allows the explicit solution of all constraints and a Hamiltonian reduction…
