Membrane Worldvolume Superalgebra

چکیده
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 find the central charge corresponding to the energy bound of the BPS fuzzy-funnel configuration of the ABJM theory. We also derive general expressions for the BPS equations of the N = 6 Bagger-Lambert theory.

M2-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 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 کاملNon-Relativistic AdS Branes and Newton-Hooke Superalgebra
We examine a non-relativistic limit of D-branes in AdS5×S and M-branes in AdS4/7×S. First, Newton-Hooke superalgebras for the AdS branes are derived from AdS×S superalgebras as Inönü-Wigner contractions. It is shown that the directions along which the AdS-brane worldvolume extends are restricted by requiring that the isometry on the AdS-brane worldvolume and the Lorentz symmetry in the transver...
متن کاملString-Membrane Duality in Seven Dimensions
The conjectured equivalence of the heterotic string to a K3 compactified type IIA superstring is combined with the conjectured equivalence of the latter to a compactified 11-dimensional supermembrane to derive a string membrane duality in seven dimensions; the membrane is a soliton of the string theory and vice versa. A prediction of this duality is that the heterotic string is a K3 compactific...
متن کاملTopological charges for branes in M-theory
We propose a simple form for the superalgebra of M2 and M5-brane probes in arbitrary supersymmetric backgrounds of 11d supergravity, extending previous results in the literature. In particular, we identify the topological charges in the algebras and find BPS bounds for the energies. The charges are given by the integral over a brane’s spatial worldvolume of a certain closed form built out of th...
