For a geometric theory with dynamical torsion an absolutely conserved quantity can be related to a Noether current for a peculiar field dependent off-shell (global) symmetry. Moreover the nonlinear deformed iso(2,1) symmetry in phase space discovered previously, for which that conserved quantity is one element of the center, can be reinterpreted as a current algebra.

Abstract A classical Ed(d)-invariant Hamiltonian formulation of world-volume theories of half-BPS p-branes in type IIb and eleven-dimensional supergravity is proposed, extending known results to d ≤ 6. It consists of a Hamiltonian, characterised by a generalised metric, and a current algebra constructed s.t. it reproduces the Ed(d) generalised Lie derivative. Ed(d)-covariance necessitates the introduction of so-called charges, specifying the type of p-brane and the choice of section. For p > 2, currents of p-branes are generically non- geometric due to the imposition of U-duality, e.g. the M5-currents contain coordinates associated to the M2-momentum.A derivation of the Ed(d)-invariant current algebra from a canonical Poisson structure is in general not possible. At most, one can derive a current algebra associated to para-Hermitian exceptional geometry.The membrane in the SL(5)-theory is studied in detail. It is shown that in a generalised frame the current algebra is twisted by the generalised fluxes. As a consistency check, the double dimensional reduction from membranes in M-theory to strings in type IIa string theory is performed. Many features generalise to p-branes in SL(p + 3) generalised geometries that form building blocks for the Ed(d)-invariant currents.

A one-dimensional model with no magnetic field is considered. It is supposed that the plasma starts in thermal equilibrium and then a current is forced to grow. Instability leads to the growth of waves, which are shown to stir the distribution in phase space, but only over a limited range of velocity. It is concluded that in order to restore stability the energy in the wave must become comparable to the energy of drift.
