Generalized Action Principle for Superstrings and Supermembranes
Superstrings (and supermembranes) are extended objects not only in the bosonic directions but also in the fermionic ones. The description of the bosonic directions of these objects can be done by the classical geometrical methods while, on the other hand, the description of the fermionic directions is up to now not satisfactory. The historically first version of superstring theory proposed by R...
متن کاملOn the Generalized Action Principle for Superstrings and Supermembranes
We revise the twistor–like superfield approach to describing super–p–branes by use of the basic principles of the group–manifold approach [1]. A super–p–brane action is constructed solely of geometrical objects as the integral over a (p+1)–surface. The Lagrangian is the external product of supervielbein differential forms in world supersurface and target superspace without any use of Lagrange m...
متن کاملSuperstrings from Supergravity
We study the origins of the five ten–dimensional “matrix superstring” theories, supplementing old results with new ones, and find that they all fit into a unified framework. In all cases the matrix definition of the string in the limit of vanishingly small coupling is a trivial 1+1 dimensional infra–red fixed point (an orbifold conformal field theory) characterized uniquely by matrix versions o...
متن کاملMore Superstrings from Supergravity
The four six–dimensional “little string” theories are all described in the infinite momentum frame (IMF) as matrix theories by non–trivial 1+1 dimensional infra–red fixed points. We characterize these fixed points using supergravity. Starting from the matrix theory definition of M5–branes, we derive an associated dual supergravity description of the fixed point theories, arising as the near hor...
متن کاملOpen Supermembranes in Eleven Dimensions
We consider open supermembranes in an eleven dimensional background. We show that, in a flat space-time, the world-volume action is kappa-symmetric and has global space-time supersymmetry if space-time has even dimensional topo-logical defects where the membrane can end. An example of such topological defects is provided by the space-time with boundaries considered by Horava and Witten. In that...
