D0 and D1 Brane With - and + Extended Symmetry

Abstract

D0 brane (D-particle) and D1 brane actions possess first and second class constraints that result in local symmetry. The symmetry of the D-particle and the D1 brane is extended here into a larger symmetry (- and +) in a larger phase space by turning second class constraints into first class. Different gauge fixings of these symmetries result in different presentations of these systems while a "unitary" gauge fixing of the new + symmetry retrieves the original action with - = symmetry. For D1 brane our extended phase space makes all constraints into first class in the case of vanishing world sheet electric field (namely (0, 1) string).
