TL;DR: In this article, the one-loop Casimir energy for a stiff p-brane was compared with that of the standard bosonic p -brane, and it was shown that the effective potential for a toroidal still 2brane has maxima rather than minima.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possibility of expressing classical bosonic p-brane field equations as the Wilson equation of a p + 1 dimensional scalar field theory, and find consistent results only for p = 1, in which case they recover bosonic string theory.
TL;DR: In this paper, exact solutions of the equations for self-dual closed bosonic membranes in higher dimensions were constructed on the basis of invariance properties of the initial system, and the solution was shown to be invariant.
TL;DR: In this article, a super p -brane on the background of a fractal space-time with Euclidean metric is proposed, and the condition of supersymmetry for such a superbrane is defined.
TL;DR: In this paper, the light-cone gauge-fixed action for a super p-brane was obtained, and it was shown that for p > 2 the action is that of a new kind of supersymmetric gauge theory of p-volume-preserving diffeomorphisms that is not of Yang-Mills type, and conjecture that it is related to an infinite-dimensional non-Abelian tensor gauge theory.
