Abstract

We discuss an extension of the super-Poincaré algebra in D=11 which includes an extra fermionic charge and super two-form charges. We give a geometrical reformulation of the D=11 supermembrane action which is manifestly invariant under the extended super-Poincaré transformations. Using the same set of transformations, we also reformulate a superstring action in D=11, considered sometime ago by Curtright. While this paper is primarily a review of a recent work by Bergshoeff and the author, it does contain some new results.
