Abstract

We propose a complete, d = 6 covariant and kappa-symmetric, action for the M theory five-brane propagating in D = 1 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. © 1997 American Physical Society.
