Abstract

The “hidden” symmetries and the associated transformation laws for the Chaplygin and Born—Infeld models may be given a coherent setting by considering the Nambu—Goto action for a d-brane in (d + 1) spatial dimensions, moving on (d + 1,1)-dimensional space—time. In our context, a d-brane is simply a d-dimensional extended object a 1-brane is a string, a 2-brane is a membrane, and so on. A d-brane in (d + 1) space divides that space in two.
