We review a geometrical approach to the description of the dynamics of superparticles,
superstrings and, in general, of super-p-branes, Dirichlet branes and the M5-brane, which is …

We review developments in the theory of multiple, parallel membranes in M-theory. After
discussing the inherent difficulties with constructing a maximally supersymmetric lagrangian …

A bstract Relations between the various formulations of nonlinear p-form electrodynamics
with conformal-invariant weak-field and strong-field limits are clarified, with a focus on …

We treat free large N superconformal field theories as holographic duals of higher spin (HS)
gauge theories expanded around AdS spacetime with radius R. The HS gauge theories …

We propose a complete, d= 6 covariant and kappa-symmetric, action for the M theory five-
brane propagating in D= 11 supergravity background. This opens a direct way of relating a …

We propose a complete Born-Infeld-like action for a bosonic 5-brane with a worldvolume
chiral field in a background of gravitational and antisymmetric gauge fields of D= 11 …

We investigate the “giant gravitons” of McGreevy, Susskind and Toumbas [1]. We
demonstrate that these are BPS configurations which preserve precisely the same …

We demonstrate how a Lorentz-covariant formulation of the chiral p-form model in D= 2 (p+
1) containing infinitely many auxiliary fields is related to a Lorentz-covariant formulation with …

We revisit the relation of the six-dimensional (2, 0) M5-brane Conformal Field Theory
compactified on S 1 to 5D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills Gauge Theory. We show …
