Twistor--like Formulation of the Supermembrane in D=11 $^*$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We propose a new formulation of the D=11 supermembrane theory that involves commuting spinors (twistor--like variables) and exhibits a manifest nn--extended world volume supersymmetry (1n8)(1\leq n\leq 8). This supersymmetry replaces nn components of the usual κ\kappa--symmetry. We show that this formulation is classically equivalent to the standard one.
