Light-cone M5 and multiple M2-branes
arXiv:0806.4777 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/25/24/245003
Abstract
We present the light-cone gauge fixed Lagrangian for the M5-brane; it has a residual `exotic' gauge invariance with the group of 5-volume preserving diffeomorphisms, SDiff(5), as gauge group. For an M5-brane of topology R2 x M3, for closed 3-manifold M3, we find an infinite tension limit that yields an SO(8)-invariant (1+2)-dimensional field theory with `exotic' SDiff(3) gauge invariance. We show that this field theory is the Carrollian limit of the Nambu bracket realization of the `BLG' model for multiple M2-branes.
21 pages, revised to clarify some points, to include a discussion of SDiff gauge invariance, and to add two references
