N=1 SUPER-P-BRANES IN TWISTER-LIKE LORENTZ HARMONIC FORMULATION

A unique twister-like Lorentz harmonic formulation for all N = 1 supersymmetric extended objects (super-p-branes) moving in spacetime of arbitrary dimension D (admissible for given p) is suggested. The equations of motion are derived, the explicit form of the kappa-symmetry transformations is presented and the classical equivalence to the standard formulation is proved. The cases with minimal worldsheet dimensions p = 1, 2, namely the D = 10 heterotic string and the D = 11 supermembrane, are considered in detail. In particular, the explicit form of irreducible kappa-symmetry transformations for the D = 11 supermembrane is derived.
