摘要：

Axion strings and domain walls exhibit a number of novel effects in the presence of gauge fields, in particular the electromagnetic field. It is shown how these effects are reproduced in a model of Nambu-Goto-type strings and open or closed membranes coupled to gauge fields. The generalization to ''axionic p-branes'' is considered and it is shown how worldvolume gauge fields that arise in certain cases can be interpreted as Goldstone fields.
