Brane Symmetries Revisited: Symmetries of Tensile and Tensionless Branes in Possibly Degenerate Metrics and their Manifestations
Abstract
We analyse the symmetries of tensionless and tensile branes moving in a target space with a possibly degenerate metric, with the worldvolume metric remaining nondegenerate. We recover known results about symmetries of strings and branes as well as new results in the tensionless and degenerate-metric cases. We comment on ramifications in the corresponding bulk theories.
