We present a manifestly Sl(2;Z)-covariant action for the type IIB superstring, and prove kappa-symmetry for on-shell IIB supergravity backgrounds.
We postulate a new type of operator algebra with a non-abelian extension. This algebra generalizes the Kac--Moody algebra in string theory and the Mickelsson--Faddeev algebra in three dimensions to higher-dimensional extended objects ($p$-branes). We then construct new BRST operators, covariant derivatives and curvature tensors in the higher-dimensional generalization of loop space.
