Classical BPS M5-brane on the plane wave background
arXiv:2506.03708
Abstract
We consider the bosonic theory for a single M5-brane on the plane-wave background and derive a family of BPS solutions with non-zero components of the angular momentum. By explicit construction of a BPS solution, we find the solution describes an ellipsoidal five-brane rotating without changing its shape. The methodology developed in this paper is expected to provide a strategy for obtaining the BPS solutions that correspond to a BPS sector in the dual gauge theory, such as the BMN matrix model.
