SU(N) membrane $B\wedge F$ theory with dual-pairs

Abstract

We construct a SU(N) membrane $B\wedge F$ theory with dual pairs of scalar and tensor fields. The moduli space of the theory is precisely that of $N$ M2-branes on the noncompact flat space. The theory possesses explicit SO(8) invariance and is an extension of the maximal SU(N) super-Yang-Mills theory.
