Abstract

The relation among spacetime supersymmetry algebras and the world volume approach to string theory is reviewed. The realization of some of the automorphism transformations of these superalgebras on the world volume theory is discussed. We distinguish among linear realizations and non-local ones. The consistency of the latter with duality in M/string theory is checked.
