Kappa-symmetric higher derivative terms in brane actions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

Using the superembedding formalism we construct supermembrane actions with higher derivative terms which can be viewed as possible higher order terms in effective actions. In particular, we provide the first example of an action for an extended supersymmetric object with fully κ\kappa-symmetric extrinsic curvature terms.
