Abstract
We analyze some of the kinematical and dynamical properties of Bat inf inite membrane solutions in the conjectured M theory proposed by Banks , Fischler, Shenker and Susskind. In particular, we compute the long r ange potential between membranes and anti-membranes, and between membr anes and gravitons, and compare it with the supergravity results. We a lso discuss membranes with finite relative longitudinal velocities, pr oviding some evidence for the 11-dimensional Lorentz invariance of the theory. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
