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 (odd) dimensional quantum Hall effect and extended dimensional hierarchy
TL;DR: In this article, a dimensional ladder of higher dimensional quantum Hall effects was demonstrated by exploiting quantum Hall effect on arbitrary odd dimensional spheres, and the resulting quantum geometry is naturally embedded also in one-dimensional higher quantum geometry.
