Supermembranes and Supermatrix Models
B. de Wit, K. Peeters, J. C. Plefka
We briefly review recent developments in the theory of supermembranes and supermatrix models. In a second part we discuss their interaction with background fields. In particular, w…
Open and Closed Supermembranes with Winding
Bernard de Wit, Kasper Peeters, Jan Plefka
Motivated by manifest Lorentz symmetry and a well-defined large-N limit prescription, we study the supersymmetric quantum mechanics proposed as a model for the collective dynamics…
The supermembrane with winding
B. de Wit, K. Peeters, J. C. Plefka
The supersymmetry algebra for supermembranes, quantized in the light-cone gauge, exhibits central charges induced by wrapping the membrane around compact dimensions. These central…
Supermembranes with Winding
Bernard de Wit, Kasper Peeters, Jan Plefka
We study supermembranes in the light-cone gauge in eleven flat dimensions with compact directions. The membrane states are subject to only the central charges associated with close…
