String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

Abstract: The idea of a companion Lagrangian associated with $p$-Branes is extended to include the presence of U(1) fields. The Brane Lagrangians are constructed with $F_{ij}$ represented in terms of Lagrange Brackets, which make manifest the reparametrisation invariance of the theory; these are replaced by Poisson Brackets in the companion Lagrangian, which is now covariant under field redefinition. The ensuing Lagrangians possess a similar formal structure to those in the absence of an anti-symmetric field tensor.
