Kappa symmetry projector

ID: kappa-symmetry-projector

With , the two complementary linear projections select its two eigenspaces. A bosonic brane preserves a background Killing spinor precisely when its target-space supersymmetry variation can be compensated by kappa symmetry, giving . This condition must hold at every worldvolume point; several branes require a common solution. The full superspace construction is described in Superspace Geometry for Supermembrane Backgrounds.
