Super-membrane/M2-brane as a sigma model

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:

The equations of motion of the super membrane are derived via the superembedding approach in

and the Lagrangian density for the super membrane is derived via the superembedding approach in

Discussion from the point of view of Green-Schwarz action functional-∞-Wess-Zumino-Witten theory is in

The double dimensional reduction of the M2-brane to the Green-Schwarz superstring was observed in

The interpretation of the super-membrane as an object related to string theory via double dimensional reduction, hence as the M2-brane was proposed in

around the time when M-theory became accepted due to
