Abstract

We describe new NN-extended 2D supergravities on a (p+1)(p+1)-dimensional (bosonic) space. The fundamental objects are moving frame densities that equip each (p+1)(p+1)-dimensional point with a 2D ``tangent space''. The theory is presented in a [p+1,2][p+1, 2] superspace. For the special case of p=1p=1 we recover the 2D supergravities in an unusual form. The formalism has been developed with applications to the string-parton picture of DD-branes at strong coupling in mind.
