Physics Letters B, 1995 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

From p-branes to Cosmology [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1996 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 generalised to non-extremal ones, and show how wide classes of recently ...

Modern Physics Letters A, 1995 We investigate possible existence of duality symmetries which exchange the Kaluza-Klein modes with the wrapping modes of a BPS saturated $p$-brane on a torus. Assuming the validity of the conjectured $U$-duality symmetries of type II and heterotic string

Interacting open p-branes [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1994 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.

Quantization of p-branes, D-p-branes and M-branes [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1997 Killing spinors of space-time BPS configurations play an important role in quantization of theories with the fermionic worldvolume local symmetry. We show here how it works for the GS superstring, BST supermembrane and M-5-brane.

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1992 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 sigma model in $p+

Gravitational lensing by p-branes [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1996 The scattering of R-R gauge bosons off of Dirichlet p-branes is computed to leading order in the string coupling. The results are qualitatively similar to those found in the scattering of massless NS-NS bosons: all p-branes with p >= 0 exhibit stringy ...

Classical and Quantum Composite p-branes [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1997 We discuss classical composite p-brane solutions and their quantization using the conjecture that their fluctuations may be described via degrees of freedom of Dirichlet strings ended on these p-branes.

A brief guide to p-branes [PDF]
Fortschritte der Physik/Progress of Physics, 1996 We describe the qualitative properties of p-brane solutions of supergravity theories and present two examples of p-brane solutions, first the dyonic membrane solutions of N=2 D=8 supergravity and second the intersecting M-brane solutions of D=11 ...

Composite p-branes in various dimensions [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1997 We review an algebraic method of finding the composite p-brane solutions for a generic Lagrangian, in arbitrary spacetime dimension, describing an interaction of a graviton, a dilaton and one or two antisymmetric tensors.
