Abstract: The Kalb-Ramond action, derived for interacting strings through an action-at-a-distance force, is generalized to the case of interacting p-dimensional objects (p-branes) in D- dimensional space-time. The openp-brane version of the theory is especially taken up. On account of the existence of their boundary surface, the fields mediating interactions between open p-branes are obtained as massive gauge fields, quite in contrast to massless gauge ones for closedp-branes.
