Novel Aspects in p-Brane Theories Weyl-Invariant Light-Like Branes(11)

We consider a novel class of Weyl-conformally invariant p-brane theories which describe intrinsically light-like branes for any odd world-volume dimension, hence the acronym WILL-branes (Weyl-Invariant Light-Like branes). We discuss in some detail the prop
