We treat the action for a bosonic membrane as a sigma model, and then compute quantum corrections by integrating out higher membrane modes. As in string theory, where the equations of motion of Einstein’s theory emerges by setting β = 0, we find that, with certain assumptions, we can recover the equations of motion for the background fields, i.e. Rμν +(1/4)FμαβγμF αβγ ν = 0 and DFαβγ = 0. for t...
