Abstract: A generalization of the embedding approach for d-dimensional gravity based upon p-brane theories is considered. We show that the D-dimensional p-brane coupled to an antisymmetric tensor field of rank (p+1) provides the dynamical basis for the description of d=(p+1) dimensional gravity in the isometric embedding formalism. Physical matter appears in such an approach as a manifestation of a D-dimensional antisymmetric tensor (generalized Kalb- Ramond) background. For the simplest case, the Lorentz harmonic formulation of the bosonic string in a Kalb-Ramond background and its relation to a first order Einstein-Cartan approach for d=2 dimensional gravity is analysed in some detail. A general Poisson-sigma-model structure emerges. For the minimal choice of D=3 an interesting ``dual formulation is found which has the structure of a Jackiw-Teitelboim theory, coupled minimally to a massive scalar field. Our approach is intended to serve as a preparation for the study of d- dimensional supergravity theory, either starting from the generalized action of free supersymmetric (d-1)-branes or -branes, or from the corresponding geometric equations ('rheotropic' conditions).
