Generalized Action Principle for superstrings and supermembranes
Dmitrij V. Volkov
Two approaches concerning the connection of the fermionic kappa -- symmetry with the superstring world -- sheet superdiffeomorphism transformations are discussed. The first approac…
Supergravity before 1976
Dmitrij V. Volkov
A story on how an attempt to realize W. Heizenberg idea that the neutrino might be a Goldstone particle had led in its development to the discovery of supergravity action.
On another version of the twistor--like approach to superparticles
Igor A. Bandos, Aleksey Yu. Nurmagambetov Dmitrij P. Sorokin, Dmitrij V. Volkov
Considered is a worldsheet supersymmetric generalization of the D=3 Ferber--Schirafuji twistor--superparticle action.
Supergravity before and after 1976
D. V. Volkov
This paper is part of the lecture given at the TH Division of CERN and devoted to the CXXV anniversary of the birthday of Elie Cartan (1869-1951). It is shown how the methods of di…
