Representations of \(p\)-brane topological charge algebras. (English) Zbl 1128.83341
Summary: 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.
