Noncritical M-theory: Three Dimensions
At the macrosopic level we study candidate 3D effective field theories associated to M theory in three dimensions. These represent analogs of 11D supergravity for eleven dimensional M-theory. At the microscopic level we study various world volume (WV) theories that can be used to relate world sheet (WS) theories of two dimensional strings. These are better defined for 3D targets than their 11D ...
متن کاملCompactifications of M-theory
We discuss Poincaré three-brane solutions in D = 5 M-Theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau (CY) threefolds with G-fluxes. We show that the vector moduli freeze at an attractor point. In the case with background flux only, the spacetime geometry contains a zero volume singularity with the three-brane and the CY space shrinking simultaneously to a point. This problem can be avoided by including ...
متن کاملM2-Brane Superalgebra from Bagger-Lambert Theory
It is known that the M2-brane worldvolume superalgebra includes two p-form central charges that encode the M-theory intersections involving M2-branes. In this paper we show by explicit computation that the Bagger-Lambert Lagrangian realizes the M2-brane superalgebra, including also the central extensions. Solitons of the Bagger-Lambert theory, that are interpreted as worldvolume realizations of...
متن کاملTopological Twisting of Multiple M2-brane Theory
Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory with infinite dimensional gauge group has been suggested to describe M5-brane as a condensation of multiple M2-branes. Here we perform a topological twisting of the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory. The original SO(8) R-symmetry is broken to SO(3) × SO(5), where the former may be interpreted as a diagonal subgroup of the Euclidean M5-brane world-volume symmetry ...
متن کاملModuli Spaces and Brane Solitons for M - Theory Compactifications on Holonomy
We investigate the local geometry on the moduli space of G 2 structures that arises in compactifications of M-theory on holonomy G 2 manifolds. In particular, we determine the homogeneity properties of couplings of the associated N = 1, D = 4 supergravity under the scaling of moduli space coordinates. We then find some brane solitons of N = 1, D = 4 supergravity that are associated with wrappin...
