Virasoro algebras in the theory of bosonicp-branes

It is shown that in the case of closed bosonicp-branes there existp + 1 mutually commuting Virasoro algebras which are a direct generalization of the string case. The existence of these algebras allows us to conclude that a non-Abelian string spectrum and quantum anomalies are admissible. The generalization of these results for the supersymmetric case is also discussed.
