N = 2 supersymmetry of higher superspin massless theories
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of dual versions of massless supermultiplets with arbitrary superspin s may provide a basis for understanding duality in N = 1, D = 4 superstring theory.

Variational principle and a perturbative solution of non-linear string equations in curved space
TL;DR: In this paper, a rescaled slow world-sheet time T = eτ is introduced, and general covariant non-linear string equations are derived for the de Sitter and Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spaces.

P-Branes, Poisson-Sigma-Models and Embedding Approach to (p+1)- Dimensional Gravity
Igor A. Bandos,Wolfgang Kummer +1 more
TL;DR: A generalization of the embedding approach for d-dimensional gravity based upon p-brane theories is considered in this article, where physical matter appears as a manifestation of a D-dimensional antisymmetric tensor (generalized Kalb- Ramond) background.

Exact solutions for U (1) globally invariant membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, the exact solvability problem of the nonlinear equations describing the U (1 ) invariant membranes is studied and the general solution for the static membrane in D = ( 2 N + 1 ) -dimensional Minkowski space-time, including M-theory case D = 11, is obtained.

p-BRANES, POISSON-SIGMA MODELS AND EMBEDDING APPROACH TO (p+1)-DIMENSIONAL GRAVITY
Igor A. Bandos,Wolfgang Kummer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the embedding approach for d-dimensional gravity based upon p-brane theories is proposed, and it is shown that the D-dimensional pbrane coupled to an antisymmetric tensor field of rank (p+1) provides the dynamical basis for the description of d=(p+ 1)-dimensional gravity in the isometric embedding formalism.

Spinors and space-time
Roger Penrose,Wolfgang Rindler +1 more
TL;DR: The calculus of 2-spinors was introduced and systematically developed in this article, which leads not only to a deeper understanding of the structure of space-time, but also provides shortcuts to some very tedious calculations.

Unified Approach to Strings and Vortices with Soliton Solutions
Fernando Lund,T. Regge +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a relativistic theory of one-dimensional extended objects interacting through a massless scalar field, of which they are in turn the source, is constructed, and the diverging self-interaction of these objects is regularizable through a renormalization of the slope of the Regge trajectories.

Classical null strings
A. Schild,A. Schild +1 more
TL;DR: Free Nambu strings in space-time are the two-dimensional sheet analog of one-dimensional curves which are timelike or spacelike geodesics as mentioned in this paper. But this is not the case for null geodesic strings.

Quantization of the null string and absence of critical dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of quantization of a free null string and show that Lorentz invariance does not require any critical spacetime dimension for the null string.

Locally supersymmetric σ-model with Wess-Zumino term in two dimensions and critical dimensions for strings
TL;DR: In this article, an N = 1 locally supersymmetric σ-model with a Wess-Zumino term coupled to supergravity in two dimensions was constructed and the critical dimensions were derived in the light-cone gauge.
