The construction of brane and superbrane actions using non-linear realisations

We derive new actions for the bosonic p-brane, super p-brane and the p-brane moving in AdS(dS) space-times using the theory of non-linear realisation without requiring the adoption of any constraints or using superfields. The Goldstone boson associated with the breaking of Lorentz transformations becomes a dynamical field whose equation of motion relates it algebraically to the remaining Goldstone fields.
