摘要
It is known that the M-branes of M-theory correspond to p-form charges in the D = 11 spacetime supersymmetry algebra. Here we show that their intersections are encoded in the p-form charges of their worldvolume supersymmetry algebras. Triple intersections are encoded in double intersection worldvolume algebras with eight supercharges. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
