Conformal symmetry extension for super p-branes?

802 views

Conformal symmetry plays a vital role in string and superstring theories. Why can not we generalize conformal symmetry to objects of greater dimensions as branes? Where are we with this puzzle in 2020?

No because there is not asked what could be the generalization of conformal symmetry for p-branes I am asking for with this question.
