TLDR
In this article, a supersymmetric field theory model for multiple M2-branes based on an algebra with a totally antisymmetric triple product is proposed. But the field is not dynamical.Abstract:
In previous work we proposed a field theory model for multiple M2-branes based on an algebra with a totally antisymmetric triple product. In this paper we gauge a symmetry that arises from the algebra's triple product. We then construct a supersymmetric theory with no free parameters that is consistent with all the continuous symmetries expected of a multiple M2-brane theory: 16 supersymmetries, conformal invariance, and an SO(8) R-symmetry that acts on the eight transverse scalars. The gauge field is not dynamical. The result is a new type of maximally supersymmetric gauge theory in three dimensions.read more

Higher groupoid bundles, higher spaces, and self-dual tensor field equations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a description of higher gauge theory with higher groupoids as gauge structure from first principles, which captures ordinary gauge theories and gauged sigma models as well as their categorifications on a very general class of higher spaces comprising presentable differentiable stacks, as eg orbifolds.

Amplitudes of 3d Yang Mills theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitudes of maximal 3D super Yang-Mills can be reduced to scalar box diagrams and evaluated using dimensional regularization, and it is shown that the one-loop MHV amplitudes vanish and the oneloop non-MHV amplifyings are finite.

A new duality between $ \mathcal{N} $ = 8 superconformal field theories in three dimensions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a duality between two 3D superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories: the U(3)1 × U( 3)−1 ABJM theory and a theory consisting of the product between the (SU(2)3 × SU(2−1)/ℤ2 BLG theory and the free Ω(1)-CNS theory of eight real scalars and eight Majorana fermions.

Exact half-BPS flux solutions in $M$ theory with D(2,1;$c^\prime$;0)$^2$ symmetry: Local solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed local solutions to 11-dimensional supergravity (or M-theory), which are invariant under the superalgebra D(2, 1; c'; 0) for all values of the parameter $c'$.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the world volume theory that describes $N$ coincident M2-branes ending on an M5-brane and show how a Basu-Harvey fuzzy funnel arises as the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield solution.

Superconformal Chern-Simons theories
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian description of a maximally supersymmetric conformal field theory in three dimensions was constructed recently by Bagger and Lambert (BL), which has SO(4) gauge symmetry and contains scalar and spinor fields that transform as 4-vectors.
