“…The proof of this equivalence would provide a pure supergravity derivation of the complete DBI action (including all openclosed string couplings). A similar exercise could be performed in M-theory to re-derive from supergravity the PST action of M5-branes [34], which is a theory of a self-dual 3-form field. Earlier related work in this direction has appeared in [23,35].…”

We present a general treatment of the leading order dynamics of the collective modes of charged dilatonic p-brane solutions of (super)gravity theories in arbitrary backgrounds. To this end we employ the general strategy of the blackfold approach which is based on a long-wavelength derivative expansion around an exact or approximate solution of the (super)gravity equations of motion. The resulting collective mode equations are formulated as forced hydrodynamic equations on dynamically embedded hypersurfaces. We derive them in full generality (including all possible asymptotic fluxes and dilaton profiles) in a far-zone analysis of the (super)gravity equations and in representative examples in a near-zone analysis. An independent treatment based on the study of external couplings in hydrostatic partition functions is also presented. Special emphasis is given to the forced collective mode equations that arise in type IIA/B and eleven-dimensional supergravities, where besides the standard Lorentz force couplings our analysis reveals additional couplings to the background, including terms that arise from Chern-Simons interactions. We also present a general overview of the blackfold approach and some of the key conceptual issues that arise when applied to arbitrary backgrounds.

Brane actions with chiral bosons present special challenges. Recent progress in the description of the two main examples -the M theory five-brane and the heterotic string -is described. Also, double dimensional reduction of the M theory five-brane on K3 is shown to give the heterotic string. The Bosonic Part of the Five-Brane ActionThe M theory five-brane action contains a tensor gauge field, which (in linearized approximation) has a self-dual field strength. Ref.[1] analyzed the problem of coupling a 6d self-dual tensor gauge field to a metric field so as to achieve general coordinate invariance.It presented a formulation in which one direction is treated differently from the other five.At the time that work was done, the author knew of no straightforward way to make the general covariance manifest. However, shortly thereafter a paper appeared [2] that presents equivalent results using a manifestly covariant formulation [3], which we refer to as the PST formulation. In the following both approaches and their relationship are described. These results have been generalized to supersymmetric actions with local kappa symmetry [4,5,6], but here we will only consider the bosonic theories. The Noncovariant FormulationLet us denote the 6d (world volume) coordinates by σμ = (σ µ , σ 5 ), where µ = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.The σ 5 direction is singled out as the one that will be treated differently from the other 1 Talk presented at the Trieste Conference on Duality Symmetries in String Theory -II

We review a generic structure of conventional (Nambu-Goto and Dirac-Born-Infeld-like) worldvolume actions for the superbranes and show how it is connected through a generalized action construction with a doubly supersymmetric geometrical approach to the description of superp-brane dynamics as embedding world supersurfaces into target superspaces.During last years Dmitrij Vasilievich Volkov actively studied geometrical and symmetry grounds underlying the theory of supersymmetric extended objects and we are happy to have been his collaborators in this work. One of the incentives for this research was to understand the nature of an important fermionic κ-symmetry of the target-superspace (or Green-Schwarz) formulation of the superparticles and superstrings with the aim to resolve the problem of its infinite reducibility, to relate the Green-Schwarz and Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz formulation of superstrings already at the classical level and to attack the problem of covariant quantization of superstrings. The κ-symmetry was conjectured to be a manifestation of local extended supersymmetry (irreducible by definition) on the world supersurface swept by a super-p-brane in a target superspace. This was firstly proved for N = 1 superparticles in three and four dimensions
