Twistor-like Formulation of Super p-Branes
E. Bergshoeff, E. Sezgin
TL;DR
This paper introduces a twistor-like formulation for super p-branes by constructing closed super (p+1)-forms on worldvolume superspace, which are derived from pull-backs of the Kalb-Ramond super form and its curvature, facilitating new super p-brane actions.
Contribution
It presents a novel twistor-like approach to super p-branes based on closed super (p+1)-forms on worldvolume superspace, expanding the geometric framework for super p-brane theories.
Findings
Constructed closed super (p+1)-forms on worldvolume superspace.
Proposed a twistor-like formulation for super p-branes.
Linked super (p+1)-forms to super p-brane action construction.
Abstract
Closed super (p+2)-forms in target superspace are relevant for the construction of the usual super p-brane actions. Here we construct closed super (p+1)-forms on a {\it worldvolume superspace}. They are built out of the pull-backs of the Kalb-Ramond super (p+1)-form and its curvature. We propose a twistor-like formulation of a class of super p-branes which crucially depends on the existence of these closed super (p+1)-forms.
