Spinor and twistor methods applied to problems in quantum theory (81R25) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

Abstract: We propose a new formulation of the D=11 supermembrane theory that involves commuting spinors (twistor--like variables) and exhibits a manifest $n$--extended world volume supersymmetry $(1leqnleq8)$. This supersymmetry replaces $n$ components of the usual $kappa$--symmetry. We show that this formulation is classically equivalent to the standard one.
