摘要: By generalizing the topological current of Abelian Chern--Simons (CS) vortices, we present a topological tensor current of CS p-branes based on the \phi -mapping topological current theory. It is revealed that CS p-branes are located at the isolated zeros of the vector field \phi(x), and the topological structure of CS p-branes is characterized by the winding number of the \phi-mappings. Furthermore, the Nambu--Goto action and the equation of motion for multi CS p-branes are obtained.

Abstract: By generalizing the topological current of Abelian Chern--Simons (CS) vortices, we present a topological tensor current of CS p-branes based on the $\phi$-mapping topological current theory. It is revealed that CS p-branes are located at the isolated zeros of the vector field $\phi(x)$, and the topological structure of CS $p$-branes is characterized by the winding number of the $\phi$-mappings. Furthermore, the Nambu--Goto action and the equation of motion for multi CS p-branes are obtained.

Key words: topological tensor current, winding number, Chern--Simons p-branes, Nambu--Goto action
