Actions, equations of motion and boundary conditions for Chern-Simons Branes
arXiv:2105.08863 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2021.136428
Abstract
Actions for extended objects based on Transgression and Chern-Simons forms for space-time groups and supergroups provide a gauge theoretic framework in which to embed previously studied String and Brane actions, extending them in interesting ways that may be useful in a future non perturbative formulation of String Theory. In this Letter I investigate aspects of the actions of these theories, including equations of motion and boundary conditions, gauge and space-time symmetries, and Dirac quantization of tensions. This theoretical framework is shown to include in certain limit and for a suitable gauge group the standard Bosonic String Theory.
