Abstract

We review the superembedding approach to M-branes and Dp-branes, in its form based on the universal (D and p-independent) superembedding equation, and its recent application in searching for supersymmetric and Lorentz covariant description of multiple Dp-brane systems. In particular, we present the structure of the multiple D0-brane equation as follows from our superembedding description and show that it describes the dielectric effect firstly noticed by Emparan and then by Myers. We also discuss briefly the relation with the boundary fermion approach by Howe, Lindstrom and Wulff.
