Coupling between M2-branes and Form Fields

چکیده
In the context of low-energy effective theory of multiple M2-branes, we construct the interaction terms between the world-volume fields of M2-branes and the antisymmetric tensor fields of threeand six-forms. By utilizing the compactification procedure, we show coincidence between the dimensionally reduced coupling and the R-R coupling to D-branes in type II string theory. We also discuss that a cubic term proportional to six-form field reproduces the quartic mass-deformation term in the world-volume theory of multiple M2-branes.

M2-Branes and Background Fields
We discuss the coupling of multiple M2-branes to the background 3-form and 6-form gauge fields of eleven-dimensional supergravity, including the coupling of the Fermions. In particular we show in detail how a natural generalization of the Myers flux-terms, along with the resulting curvature of the background metric, leads to mass terms in the effective field theory.

متن کاملThe Spin of the M2-Brane and Spin-Spin Interactions via Probe Techniques
The 256 dimensional M2-brane multiplet contains solitons of many different intrinsic spins. Using the broken supersymmetry transformations of the M2-brane, we find supergravity solutions which explicitly display these spins. This amounts to quantizing the fermionic zero modes and computing the back reaction on the metric and gauge potential. These spacetime fields are therefore operator valued ...
متن کاملM2-branes on a Resolved C 4 /z 4
We write down M2-branes on the resolved C 4 /Z 4 orbifold space. The resolved spatial geometry is such that it interpolates between R 2 ×CP 3 near the branes and C 4 /Z 4 asymp-totically. The near horizon geometry of these branes is a deformation of AdS 4 × S 7 /Z 4. An interesting aspect is that for k = 4 Chern-Simons theory coupling becomes vanishing near the IR cutoff leading to spontaneous ...
متن کاملInterpreting N M2 branes
A new world volume theory with a free scalar field was proposed for Multiple M2 branes recently. By giving the free scalar a large VEV, we can obtain a gauge theory of multiple D2 branes with a coupling constant proportional to the VEV. It is pointed out by Banerjee and Sen that we can get D2 branes by choosing a compactification in the θ direction, with radial position having the same value of...
متن کاملInterpreting the M2-brane Action
The world-volume theory of multiple M2-branes proposed recently has a free scalar field. For large vev of this scalar field the world-volume action reduces to that of multiple D2-branes with Yang-Mills coupling proportional to the vev. We suggest that the correct interpretation of this scalar field is as the radial position of the M2-brane center of mass in a cylindrical polar coordinate system...
