Using canonical methods, we study the invariance properties of a bosonic p-brane propagating in a curved background locally diffeomorphic to M×G, where M is space-time and G a group manifold. The action is that of a gauged sigma model in p+1 dimensions coupled to a Yang-Mills field and a (p+1) form in M.

INTERACTING OPEN p-BRANES [PDF]
The Kalb-Ramond action, derived for interacting strings through an action-at-a-distance force, is generalized to the case of interacting p-dimensional objects (p-branes) in D- dimensional space-time. The openp-brane version of the theory is especially taken up.

Multiscalar p-Brane Solitons [PDF]
In a previous paper,10 supersymmetric p-brane solutions involving one dilatonic scalar field in maximal supergravity theories were classified. Although these solutions involve a number of participating field strengths, they are all equal and thus they carry equal electric or magnetic charges.

More on effective potentials for revolving D-branes
We continue to investigate the effective potential between a pair of Dp-branes revolving around each other by using the technique of partial modular transformation developed in our previous work.

Stainless super p-branes [PDF]
The elementary and solitonic supersymmetric $p$-brane solutions to supergravity theories form families related by dimensional reduction, each headed by a maximal (`stainless') member that cannot be isotropically dimensionally oxidized into higher dimensions. We find several new families, headed by stainless solutions in various dimensions $D\le 9$.

Five-brane current algebras in type II string theories
We study the current algebras of the NS5-branes, the Kaluza-Klein (KK) five-branes and the exotic 5 2 2 $$ {5}_2^2 $$ -branes in type IIA/IIB superstring theories. Their worldvolume theories are governed by the six-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (2, 0)

FROM p-BRANES TO COSMOLOGY [PDF]
We study the relationship between static p-brane solitons and cosmological solutions of string theory or M theory. We discuss two different ways in which extremal p-branes can be generalized to nonextremal ones, and show how wide classes of recently discussed cosmological models can be mapped into nonextremal p-brane solutions of one of these two ...

Dynamics of revolving D-branes at short distances
We study the behavior of the effective potential between revolving Dp-branes at all ranges of the distance r, interpolating r » ls and r « ls (ls is the string length).

It is shown that many of the $p$-branes of type II string theory and $d=11$ supergravity can have boundaries on other $p$-branes. The rules for when this can and cannot occur are derived from charge conservation. For example it is found that membranes in $d=11$ supergravity and IIA string theory can have boundaries on fivebranes.

Abstract It is shown that the extension of the spacetime supersymmetric Green-Schwarz covariant action p -dimensional extended objects ( p -branes) is possible if and only if the on-shell p -dimensional Bose and Fermi degrees of freedom are equal. This is further evidence for world-tube supersymmetry in these models.
