Abstract

Description

D0 brane (D-particle) and D1 brane actions possess first and second class constraints that result in local $κ$ symmetry. The $κ$ symmetry of the D-particle and the D1 brane is extended here into a larger symmetry ($κ_-$ and $κ_+$) 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 $ κ_+$ symmetry retrieves the original action with $κ_- = κ$ 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).
A new section on D1 brane with extended kappa symmetry has been added, references have been added. (18 pages, Latex file)
