Representations of p-brane topological charge algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
The known extended algebras associated with p-branes are shown to be generated as topological charge algebras of the standard pbrane actions. A representation of the charges in terms of superspace forms is constructed. The charges are shown to be the same in standard/extended superspace formulations of the action.

Double complex cocycles for D-branes
The cocycle approach to topological charge algebras is generalized to the case of D-branes. The D-brane has two associated cocycles, with an anomalous term of the Noether charge algebra deriving from each. The resulting topological charge algebras are extensions of the standard, background superalgebra by two disjoint, commuting ideals. The formalism is applied to (p, q)-strings and the D-membr...
متن کاملTopological Open p-Branes
By exploiting the BV quantization of topological bosonic open membrane, we argue that flat 3-form C-field leads to deformations of the algebras of multi-vectors on the Dirichlet-brane world-volume as 2-algebras. This would shed some new light on geometry of M-theory 5-brane and associated decoupled theories. We show that, in general, topological open p-brane has a structure of (p + 1)-algebra i...
متن کاملD-branes and geometrical kappa-symmetry
New extended superspaces associated with topological charge algebras of the D-brane are used to construct D-brane actions without worldvolume gauge fields. The actions are shown to be kappa-symmetric under an appropriately chosen right group action.

In last ten years many mathematicians have studied properties of BL-algebras endowed with a topology. For example A. Di Nola and L. Leustean cite{dn} studied compact representations of BL-algebras, L. C. Ciungu cite{ciu} investigated some concepts of convergence in the class of perfect BL-algebras, J. Mi Ko and Y. C. Kim cite{jun} studied relationships between closure operators and BL-algebras,...

We derive the fully extended supersymmetry algebra carried by D-branes in a massless type IIA superspace vacuum. We find that the extended algebra contains not only topological charges that probe the presence of compact spacetime dimensions but also pieces that measure non-trivial configurations of the gauge field on the worldvolume of the brane. Furthermore there are terms that measure the cou...
