Brane current algebras and generalised geometry from QP manifolds. Or, “when they go high, we go low”
Abstract We construct a Poisson algebra of brane currents from a QP-manifold, and show their Poisson brackets take a universal geometric form. This generalises a result of Alekseev and Strobl on string currents and generalised geometry to include branes with worldvolume gauge fields, such as the D3...
