Abstract
In this work we present octonionic duality for membranes. We start with a d iscussion on the relation of the Yang-Mills theories and the the supermembr ane Hamiltonian in the light-cone gauge. We further derive the self-duality equations for the membranes and discuss the integrability of the system in 7 and 3 dimensions. Finally, we present classical Euclidean time solutions of these equations and examine the supersymmetries left intact by the self -duality equations.
