Interpreting N M2 branes
نویسنده
چکیده
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 the VEV. Following this work, we try to describe the multiple M2 branes in R/ZK and give a simple provement of gYM ∝ 1 √ K in the compactification. We try to interpret T 0 and T−1 as the radial coordinate operator and momentum operator and give some evidences in geometry and quantum mechanics. ∗E-mail: [email protected]

Interpreting the M2-brane Action
The world-volume theory of multiple M2-branes proposed recently has a free scalar field. For large vev of this scalar field the world-volume action reduces to that of multiple D2-branes with Yang-Mills coupling proportional to the vev. We suggest that the correct interpretation of this scalar field is as the radial position of the M2-brane center of mass in a cylindrical polar coordinate system...
متن کاملWilson Loops from D - branes in AdS 4 × CP 3 with B NS
We study Wilson loops in N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory with gauge group U(M)× U(N) that is dual to N M2-branes and (M-N) fractional M2-branes, equivalently, discrete 3-form holonomy at C4/Zk orbifold singularity. We give description of these Wilson loops in terms of macroscopic fundamental string and D6-branes in the dual AdS4× CP3 geometry with NS-NS B field turned on over CP1 ⊂ CP3.
متن کاملAn N = 1 Superfield Action for M2 Branes
We present an octonionic N = 1 superfield action that reproduces in components the action of Bagger and Lambert for M2 branes. By giving an expectation value to one of the scalars we obtain the maximally supersymmetric superfield action for D2 branes.
متن کاملSuperconformal Quantum Mechanics from M2-branes
We discuss the superconformal quantum mechanics arising from the M2-branes. We begin with a comprehensive review on the superconformal quantum mechanics and emphasize that conformal symmetry and supersymmetry in quantum mechanics contain a number of exotic and enlightening properties which do not occur in higher dimensional field theories. We see that superfield and superspace formalism is avai...
متن کاملBrane Resolution Through Transgression
Modifications to the singularity structure of D3-branes that result from turning on a flux for the R-R and NS-NS 3-forms (fractional D3-branes) provide important gravity duals of four-dimensional N = 1 super-Yang-Mills theories. We construct generalisations of these modified p-brane solutions in a variety of other cases, including heterotic 5-branes, dyonic strings, M2-branes, D2-branes, D4-bra...
