TL;DR: The Lagrangian formulation of a Bose model in 1+1 dimensions which describes a free chiral Lie-algebra-valued current is given which is a non-Abelian generalization of the chiral scalar model of Siegel.
Abstract: We give the Lagrangian formulation of a Bose model in 1+1 dimensions which describes a free chiral Lie-algebra-valued current. This model is a non-Abelian generalization of the chiral scalar model of Siegel. Both the Abelian and non-Abelian actions have a gauge invariance, which becomes anomalous when the models are quantized. The condition that this anomaly be canceled coincides with the string no-ghost condition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Casimir energy of an 11-dimensional Green-Schwarz supermembrane was computed, and it was shown that such super-membranes do not contain massless particles.
