Introduction to the Superembedding Description of Superbranes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Basics of the geometrical formulation of the dynamics of supersymmetric objects are considered and its relation to conventional formulations of superbranes is discussed. In particular, we demonstrate how the kappa-symmetry of the Green-Schwarz formulation shows up from local worldvolume supersymmetry, and briefly discuss applications of the superembedding approach.
