| Summary: | Includes bibliographical references.; The interest in membranes and higher dimensional extended geometrical objects was inspired by the great successes of the string and superstring, first in 1968–73 as a theory of hadrons and then since 1984 as a “theory of everything†— a unified theory of all interactions, including quantum gravity. In particular, membranes, “supermembranes†and “spinning membranes†have been studied since 1985; an unexpected connection with supergravity opened in 1988 some new prospects for a quantized theory. General theorems about higher dimensional “p-branes†or “extendons†were also derived. The subject is very promising, whether as a more comprehensive fundamental unification or as a description of composite hadrons. |
