The Green-Schwarz sigma-model-type formulation of the super-membrane in 11d (as in the brane scan and in contrast to the black brane-solutions of 11d supergravity) first appears in:
Via the superembedding approach the equations of motion were obtained in
and the Lagrangian density in:
The double dimensional reduction of the M2-brane to the Green-Schwarz superstring was observed in

Discussion from the point of view of Green-Schwarz action functional-∞-Wess-Zumino-Witten theory:
On possible structures in M2-brane dynamics and M2-M5-brane bound states which could be M-theory-lifts of the familiar integrability of the Green-Schwarz superstring on :
