Covariant action for the super-five-brane of \(M\) theory. (English) Zbl 0944.81039
Summary: We propose a complete, \(d = 6\) covariant and kappa-symmetric, action for the \(M\) theory five-brane propagating in \(D = 11\) supergravity background. This opens a direct way of relating a wide class of super-p-brane solutions of string theory with the five-brane of \(M\) theory, which should be useful for studying corresponding dualities and nonperturbative aspects of these theories.
