5. We shall consider here only the conventional form of D = 11 algebra [5,6], without additional fermionic (spinorial) charges. For its general form see [7]. For the topological origin of "central" charges and their role in the partial breaking of supersymmetry see [8]; for a general discussion of extended supersymmetry algebras and extended superspaces see [9].

29. (0) is defined in [22]] which reflects the deep relation [24,25] between the supersymmetry of a BPS state and the κ-symmetry of the world volume action of the corresponding superbrane.
