A Note on the Supersymmetries of the Self-Dual Supermembrane
arXiv:hep-th/9802018 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(98)00398-0
Abstract
In this letter we discuss the supersymmetry issue of the self dual supermembranes in (8+1) and (4+1)-dimensions. We find that all genuine solutions of the (8+1)-dimensional supermembrane, based on the exceptional group G_2, preserve one of the sixteen supersymmetries while all solutions in (4+1)-dimensions preserve eight of them.
