Hamiltonian formulation of the supermembrane Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The hamiltonian formulation of the supermembrane theory in eleven dimensions is given. The covariant split of the first and second class constraints is exhibited, and their Dirac brackets are computed. Gauge conditions are imposed in such a way that the reparametrizations of the membrane with divergence-free 2-vectors are unfixed. 1988.
