Massive supermembrane in ten non-compact dimensions
We discuss a formulation of the M2-brane theory in ten non-compact dimensions that exhibits mass terms in the Hamiltonian. The existence of these mass terms improves the quantum behaviour of the theory in comparison with the known compactifications of the M2 to ten dimensions. On the other hand, this formulation of the M2-brane can be interpreted as a realization in ten non-compact dimensions of the central charge condition. This result could be interesting, since it represent another well behaved sector of the M2-brane and it might yield new information about massive Romans supergravity in ten dimensions.
