Abstract
The relativistic generalization of the Chaplygin gas, put forward by Jackiw and Polychronakos, is derived in Duval's Kaluza-Klein framework, using a u niversal quadratic Lagrangian. Our framework yields a simplified proof of t he field-dependent Poincare symmetry. Our action is related to the usual Na mbu-Goto action [world volume] of d-branes in the same way as the Polyakov and the Nambu action are in string theory.
