Light-cone M5 and multiple M2-branes
We present the light-cone gauge fixed Lagrangian for the M5-brane; it has a residual ‘exotic’ gauge invariance with the group of 5-volume preserving diffeomorphisms, SDiff5, as gauge group. For an M5-brane of topology R 2 ×M3, for closed 3-manifold M3, we find an infinite tension limit that yields an SO(8)-invariant (1 + 2)-dimensional field theory with ‘exotic’ SDiff3 gauge invariance. We show...
متن کاملMultiple M2-branes and the Embedding Tensor
We show that the Bagger-Lambert theory of multiple M2-branes fits into the general construction of maximally supersymmetric gauge theories using the embedding tensor technique. We apply the embedding tensor technique in order to systematically obtain the consistent gaugings of N = 8 superconformal theories in 2 + 1 dimensions. This leads to the Bagger-Lambert theory, with the embedding tensor p...
متن کاملWorldvolume supersymmetries for branes in plane waves
We study the worldvolume supersymmetries of M2 branes in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave background of M theory. For certain embeddings the standard probe analysis indicates that the worldvolume theory has less than 16 supersymmetries. We show that at the quadratic level the worldvolume theory admits additional linearly realized supersymmetries, and that the spectra of the branes are or...
متن کاملNon-linear theory for multiple M2 branes
We present a manifestly SO(8) invariant non-linear Lagrangian for describing the non-abelian dynamics of the bosonic degrees of freedom of N coinciding M2 branes in flat spacetime. The theory exhibits a gauge symmetry structure of the BF type (semidirect product of SU(N) and translations) and at low energies it reduces exactly to the bosonic part of the Lorentzian BaggerLambert Lagrangian for g...
متن کاملOblique DLCQ M-theory and Multiple M2-branes
We propose an oblique DLCQ as a limit to realize a theory of multiple M2-branes in M(atrix)-theory context. The limit is a combination of an infinite boosting of a space-like circle and a tuned tilting of the circle direction. We obtain a series of supergravity solutions describing various dual configurations including multiple M2-branes. For an infinite boosting along a circle wrapped obliquel...
