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

\( \mathcal{N} = 8 \) superspace constraints for three-dimensional gauge theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic analysis of the super Yang-Mills theory in 3D space-time dimensions, where the general coupling between vector and scalar supermultiplets is encoded in an SO(8) tensor WAB which is a function of the matter fields and subject to a set of algebraic and super-differential relations.

TL;DR: In this article, 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.
