Zero Modes for the D=11 Membrane and Five-Brane
Abstract
There exist extremal p-brane solutions of D\!=\!11 supergravity for p=2~and~5. In this paper we investigate the zero modes of the membrane and the five-brane solutions as a first step toward understanding the full quantum theory of these objects. It is found that both solutions possess the correct number of normalizable zero modes dictated by supersymmetry.
