Generalized Action Principle for Superstrings and Supermembranes
Superstrings (and supermembranes) are extended objects not only in the bosonic directions but also in the fermionic ones. The description of the bosonic directions of these objects can be done by the classical geometrical methods while, on the other hand, the description of the fermionic directions is up to now not satisfactory. The historically first version of superstring theory proposed by R...
متن کاملOn the Generalized Action Principle for Superstrings and Supermembranes
We revise the twistor–like superfield approach to describing super–p–branes by use of the basic principles of the group–manifold approach [1]. A super–p–brane action is constructed solely of geometrical objects as the integral over a (p+1)–surface. The Lagrangian is the external product of supervielbein differential forms in world supersurface and target superspace without any use of Lagrange m...
متن کاملExtrinsic Curvature Embedding Diagrams
Embedding diagrams have been used extensively to visualize the properties of curved space in Relativity. We introduce a new kind of embedding diagram based on the extrinsic curvature (instead of the intrinsic curvature). Such an extrinsic curvature embedding diagram, when used together with the usual kind of intrinsic curvature embedding diagram, carries the information of how a surface is embe...
متن کاملComplete surfaces with negative extrinsic curvature
N. V. Efimov [Efi64] proved that there is no complete, smooth surface in R with uniformly negative curvature. We extend this to isometric immersions in a 3-manifold with pinched curvature: if M has sectional curvature between two constants K2 and K3, then there exists K1 < min(K2, 0) such that M contains no smooth, complete immersed surface with curvature below K1. Optimal values of K1 are dete...
متن کاملHypercubic Random Surfaces with Extrinsic Curvature
We analyze a model of hypercubic random surfaces with an extrinsic curvature term in the action. We find a first order phase transition at finite coupling separating a branched polymer from a stable flat phase.
