D=10 Chiral Tensionless Super p-Branes

Abstract

We consider a model for tensionless (null) super p-branes with N chiral supersymmetries in ten dimensional flat space-time. After establishing the symmetries of the action, we give the general solution of the classical equations of motion in a particular gauge. In the case of a null superstring (p=1) we find the general solution in an arbitrary gauge. Then, using a harmonic superspace approach, the initial algebra of first and second class constraints is converted into an algebra of Lorentz-covariant, BFV-irreducible, first class constraints only. The corresponding BRST charge is as for a first rank dynamical system.
