摘要：

In string theory, nilpotence of the BRS operator delta for the string functional relates the Chem-Simons term in the gauge-invariant antisymmetric tensor field strength to the central term in the Kac-Moody algebra. We generalize these ideas to p-branes with odd p and find that the Kac-Moody algebra for the string becomes the Michelsson-Faddeev algebra for the p-brane.
