M2-Branes and Background Fields
arXiv:0908.2896 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2009/10/084
Abstract
We discuss the coupling of multiple M2-branes to the background 3-form and 6-form gauge fields of eleven-dimensional supergravity, including the coupling of the Fermions. In particular we show in detail how a natural generalization of the Myers flux-terms, along with the resulting curvature of the background metric, leads to mass terms in the effective field theory.
