A note on the M2-M5 brane system and fuzzy spheres
arXiv:hep-th/0605086 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2006.06.060
Abstract
This note covers various aspects of recent attempts to describe membranes ending on fivebranes using fuzzy geometry. In particular, we examine the Basu-Harvey equation and its relation to the Nahm equation as well as the consequences of using a non-associative algebra for the fuzzy three-sphere. This produces the tantalising result that the fuzzy funnel solution corresponding to Q coincident membranes ending on a five-brane has degrees of freedom.
