Summary

By adding WZ terms to the superstring actions, we find actions with kappa symmetry. Similarly, for super-p-branes, we can describe actions, and find a brane scan, related to the existence of a kappa symmetry. In curved superspace, the supergravity equations of motion in 11 dimensions are obtained from the condition of kappa symmetry. The superembedding formalism starts with the superembedding conditions. For the case of the particle, we describe it and give example. For the superstring, we sketch how it is done.
