2 d SCFT from M - branes and its spectral network

چکیده
We consider the low-energy limit of the two-dimensional theory on multiple M2-branes suspended between a flat M5-brane and a curved M5brane. We argue that it is described by an N=(2, 2) supersymmetric LandauGinzburg model with the superpotential determined by the shape of the curved M5-branes, which flows in the low-energy limit to a Kazama-Suzuki coset model. We provide evidence by studying ground states and BPS spectra of the systems.

Three Dimensional SCFT from M2 Branes at Conifold Singularities
Recently it was conjectured that parallel branes at conical singularities are related to string/M theory on AdS×X where X is an Einstein manifold. In this paper we consider coincident M2 branes near a conifold singularity when M theory is compactified on AdS4×Q for Q = (SU(2)×SU(2)× SU(2))/(U(1)× U(1)) as a seven dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifold. We argue that M theory on AdS4 × Q can be de...
متن کاملLittle String Theories in Heterotic Backgrounds ⋆
We study Little String Theories (LST) with N = (1, 0) supersymmetry arising, in a suitable double scaling limit, from 5-branes in heterotic string theory or in the heterotic-like type II/(−) F L × shift. The limit in question, previously studied in the type II case, is such that the resulting holographically dual pairs, i.e. bulk string theory and LST can be considered to be weakly coupled. In ...
متن کاملGhost-Free Superconformal Action for Multiple M2-Branes
The Bagger–Lambert construction of N = 8 superconformal field theories (SCFT) in three dimensions is based on 3-algebras. Three groups of researchers recently realized that an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra can be incorporated by using a suitable Lorentzian signature 3-algebra. The SU(N) case is a candidate for the SCFT describing coincident M2-branes. However, these theories contain ghost de...
متن کاملVia Supermembrane Probe
The spacetime superalgebra via the supermembrane probe in the background of AdS4× S is discussed to the lowest order in the spinor coordinate θ. To obtain the correct spacetime superalgebras, all θ order corrections for supervielbein and super 3-form gauge potential have to be included. The central extension of the superalgebra OSp(8|4) of the super isometries for AdS4 × S 7 is found. e-mail ad...
