Abstract

We review various aspects of a fermionic gauge symmetry, known as the $\kappa$ --symmetry, which plays an important role in formulations of superstrings, supermembranes and higher dimensional extended objects. We also review some aspects of the connection between $\kappa$ --symmetric theories and their twistor-like formulations.

Keywords

kappa-symmetry fermionic gauge symmetry superstrings supermembranes extended objects twistor-like formulations
