M2-Brane Superalgebra from Bagger-Lambert Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
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 intersecting branes, are shown to saturate a BPS-bound given in terms of the corresponding central charge.

Membrane Worldvolume Superalgebra
In arXiv:0806.0363 the worldvolume superalgebra of the N = 8 Bagger-Lambert theory was calculated. In this paper we derive the general form for the worldvolume superalgebra of the N = 6 Bagger-Lambert theory. For a particular choice of three-algebra we derive the superalgebra of the ABJM theory. We interpret the associated central charges in terms of BPS brane configurations. In particular we f...
متن کاملWorldvolume Superalgebra Of BLG Theory With Nambu-Poisson Structure
Recently it was proposed that the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory with Nambu-Poisson structure describes an M5-brane in a three-form flux background. In this paper we investigate the superalgebra associated with this theory. We derive the central charges corresponding to M5-brane solitons in 3-form backgrounds. We also show that double dimensional reduction of the superalgebra gives rise to a ...
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 کاملGauge Symmetry and Supersymmetry of Multiple M2-Branes
In previous work we proposed a field theory model for multiple M2-branes based on an algebra with a totally antisymmetric triple product. In this paper we gauge a symmetry that arises from the algebra’s triple product. We then construct a supersymmetric theory with no free parameters that is consistent with all the continuous symmetries expected of a multiple M2-brane theory: 16 supersymmetries...
متن کاملHow to put the Bagger-Lambert theory on an orbifold : A derivation of the ABJM model
We consider taking an orbifold of the multiple M2-brane theory recently proposed by Bagger and Lambert. Starting from the large-n limit of the 3-algebra structure realized as volume-preserving diffeomorphims, we suggest a prescription to impose an orbifold condition on various fields. As a relatively simple but non-trivial example we study an abelian orbifold C/Zk, and illustrate how one can de...
