Properties of the eleven-dimensional supermembrane theory

We study in detail the structure of the Lorentz covariant, spacetime supersymmetric 11-dimensional supermembrane theory. We show that for a flate spacetime background, the spacetime supersymmetry becomes an N = 8 world volume (rigid) supersymmetry in a ''physical'' gauge; we also present the field equations and transformation rules in a ''lightcone'' gauge. We semiclassically quantize the closed torodial supermembrane on a spactime (Minkowski)/sub 4/ x (flat 7-torus), and review some mathematical results that are relevant for path integral quantization. copyright 1988 Academic Press, Inc.
