Extra Gauge Symmetry for Extra Supersymmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

It is shown that the extra supersymmetry of tensionless superstring and super pp-brane is accompanied by the presence of new bosonic gauge symmetries. It permits to use composed coordinates encoding all physical degrees of freedom of the model and invariant under these gauge symmetries and the enhanced κ\kappa-symmetry. It is proved that the composed gauge invariant coordinates coincide with the componets of symplectic supertwistor realizing a linear representation of the hidden OSp(1,2M) symmetry of the super pp-brane Lagrangian. A connection of the presented gauge symmetries with massless higher spin gauge theories and a symmetric phase of MM/string-theory is discussed.
