The supergroup OSp(8*|4), which is the superconformal group of (2,0) theoryin six dimensions, is broken to the subgroup OSp(4|2)xOSp(4|2) by demanding theinvariance of a certain product in a superspace with eight bosonic and fourfermionic dimensions. We show that this is consistent with the symmetrybreaking induced by the presence of a flat two-dimensional BPS surface in theusual (2,0) superspace, which has six bosonic and sixteen fermionic dimensions.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX. v2: reference adde
