Abstract

The representation theory of the maximally extended superalgebra with 32 fermionic and 528 bosonic generators is developed in order to investigate non-perturbative properties of the democratic secret theory behind strings and other p-branes. The presence of Lorentz non-singlet central extensions is emphasized, their role for understanding up to 13 hidden dimensions and their physical interpretation as boundaries of p-branes is elucidated. The criteria for a new larger set of BPS-like non-perturbative states is given and the methods of investigation are illustrated with several explicit examples.
