Metric-Independent Measures for Supersymmetric Extended Object Theories on Curved Backgrounds

Abstract

For Green-Schwarz superstring sigma-model on curved backgrounds, we introduce a non-metric measure $\Phi \equiv {\epsilon }^{ij}{\epsilon }^{IJ}({\partial }_i{\phi }^I)({\partial }_j{\phi }^J)$ with two scalars ${\phi }^I(I=1,2)$ used in Two Measure Theory (TMT). As in the flat-background case, the string tension $T=(2\pi {\alpha }^{\prime }{)}^{-1}$ emerges as an integration constant for the A_i-field equation. This mechanism is further generalized to supermembrane theory, and to super p-brane theory, both on general curved backgrounds. This shows the universal applications of dynamical measure of TMT to general supersymmetric extended objects on general curved backgrounds.
