Noncentral extension of the AdS 5 × S 5 superalgebra : supermultiplet of brane charges

We propose an extension of the su(2, 2|4) superalgebra to incorporate the F1/D1 string charges in type IIB string theory on the AdS5 × S 5 background, or the electro-magnetic charges in the dual super Yang-Mills theory. With the charges introduced, the superalgebra inevitably undergoes a noncentral extension, as noted recently in [1]. After developing a group theoretical method of obtaining the noncentral extension, we show that the charges form a certain nonunitary representation of the original unextended superalgebra, subject to some constraints. We solve the constraints completely and show that, apart from the su(2, 2|4) generators, there exist 899 complex brane charges in the extended algebra. Explicitly we present all the super-commutators among them.
