M2-branes Coupled to Antisymmetric Fluxes
By turning on antisymmetric background fluxes, we study how multiple M2-branes are coupled to them. Our investigation concentrates on the gauge invariance conditions for the Myers-Chern-Simons action. Furthermore, the dimensional reduction of M2-branes to D2-branes introduces more constraints on the newly introduced tensors. Particularly, for the theory based on A4 algebra, we are able to fix a...
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 کاملM2-branes stretching between M5-branes
A generalization of Nahm’s equation has been recently conjectured by Basu and Harvey to be the BPS condition describing the bound state of a stack of M2branes ending on an M5-brane. In this note exact solutions are presented for the proposed BPS equation – which is from the point of view of the M2-brane world-volume dynamics – with boundary conditions appropriate for M2-branes stretching betwee...
متن کامل2d SCFTs from M2-branes
We consider the low-energy limit of the two-dimensional theory on k M2-branes suspended between a straight M5-brane and a curved M5-brane. We argue that it is described by an N=(2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theory with no matter fields but with a non-trivial twisted superpotential, and also by an N=(2, 2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg model, such that the (twisted) superpotentials are determined...
متن کاملIntersecting M2– and M5–branes
If an M2–brane intersects an M5–brane the canonical Wess–Zumino action is plagued by a Dirac–anomaly, i.e. a non–integer change of the action under a change of Dirac–brane. We show that this anomaly can be eliminated at the expense of a gravitational anomaly supported on the intersection manifold. Eventually we check that the last one is cancelled by the anomaly produced by the fermions present...
