TWISTOR-LIKE FORMULATION OF SUPER P-BRANES Academic Article

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 world-volume 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. 1994.
