The Kalb-Ramond action, derived for interacting strings through an action-at-a-distance force, is generalized to the case of interacting p-dimensional objects (p-branes) in D- dimensional space-time. The openp-brane version of the theory is especially taken up. On account of the existence of their boundary surface, the fields mediating interactions between open p-branes are obtained as massive gauge fields, quite in contrast to massless gauge ones for closedp-branes.

In the usual and current understanding of planar gauge choices for Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields, the external defining vector nμ can either be space-like (n2 < 0) or time-like (n2>0) but not light-like (n2=0). In this work we propose a light-like planar gauge that consists of defining a modified gauge-fixing term, ℒ GF , whose main characteristic is a two-degree violation of Lorentz covariance arising from the fact that four-dimensional space–time spanned entirely by null vectors as basis necessitates two light-like vectors, namely nμ and its dual mμ, with n2=m2=0, n·m≠0, say, e.g. normalized to n·m=2.

Many approaches to quantum gravity consider the revision of the space-time geometry and the structure of elementary particles. One of the main candidates is string theory. It is possible that this theory will be able to describe the problem of hierarchy, provided that there is an appropriate Calabi-Yau geometry. In this paper we will proceed from the traditional view on the structure of elementary particles in the usual four-dimensional space-time. The only condition is that quarks and leptons should have a common emerging structure. When a new formula for the mass of the hierarchy is obtained, this structure arises from topological quantum theory and a suitable choice of dimensional units.
