Supermembrane action

ID: supermembrane-action

The first term uses the induced worldvolume metric from the supervielbein; the second is the Wess-Zumino brane coupling to the super-three-form. Its fermionic dependence is retained before bosonic truncation. The relative charge magnitude equals the brane tension, while sets the orientation and matching kappa symmetry projector sign. In an on-shell eleven-dimensional supergravity superspace, this action has kappa symmetry.
