Abstract

The authors generalize to p-dimensional extended objects and type II superstrings a recently proposed Green-Schwarz type I superstring action in which the tension T emerges as an integration constant of the equations of motion. The action is spacetime scale-invariant but its equations of motion are equivalent to those of the standard super p-brane for T not=0 and the null super p-brane for T=0. They also show that for p=1 the action can be written in 'Born-Infeld' form.
