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

Exceptional N=6 and N=2 AdS_4 Supergravity, and Zero-Center Modules
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the gauge sector of the two dual theories with the most general group allowed by supersymmetry and showed that they exhibit the same (large) black-hole attractor solutions with dual relations between the 1/N-BPS and nonBPS configurations in the ungauged (super-Poincar\'e) case.
