Mass Deformation of the Multiple M2 Branes Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on recent developments, in this letter we study the one parameter deformation of 2+1 dimensional gauge theories with scale invariance and N = 8 supersymmetry, which is expected to be the field theory living on a stack of M2 branes. The deformed gauge theory is defined by a Lagrangian and is based on an infinite set of novel 3-algebras constructed by relaxing the assumption that the invariant metric is positive definite. Under the Higgs mechanism, we can obtain the D-branes world volume theory in the presence of background fluxes.

Coupling between M2-branes and Form Fields
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...
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...
متن کاملAdS4/CFT3 duals from M2-branes at hypersurface singularities and their deformations
We construct three-dimensional N = 2 Chern-Simons-quiver theories which are holographically dual to the M-theory Freund-Rubin solutions AdS4 × V5,2/Zk (with or without torsion G-flux), where V5,2 is a homogeneous Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifold. The global symmetry group of these theories is generically SU(2) × U(1) × U(1)R, and they are hence non-toric. The field theories may be thought of as t...
متن کاملM2-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 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 ...
