Representations of p-brane topological charge algebras

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that the extended algebras related to p-branes can be derived as topological charge algebras from standard p-brane actions, providing a superspace form representation of these charges.

Contribution

It introduces a representation of p-brane topological charge algebras in terms of superspace forms and shows their equivalence in different superspace formulations.

Findings

Extended algebras are generated as topological charge algebras

Charges are represented in superspace forms

Charges are consistent across standard and extended superspace formulations

Abstract

The known extended algebras associated with p-branes are shown to be generated as topological charge algebras of the standard p-brane 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.
