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

Emergence and oscillation of cosmic space by joining M1-branes
TL;DR: This paper addresses the issue of how the oscillation of the universe between contraction and expansion branches is explained in the framework of a BIonic system by articulating M1-BIons, a pair of M1–anti-M1-branes.

The two-loop six-point amplitude in ABJM theory
Yu-tin Huang,Simon Caron-Huot +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first analytic computation of the six-point two-loop amplitude of ABJM theory, and showed that the two-layer amplitude consists of corrections proportional to two distinct local Yangian invariants which can be identified as the tree-and the one-loop amplitudes respectively.

M-brane bound states and the supersymmetry of BPS solutions in the Bagger-Lambert theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide the M-theory interpretation for various BPS equations and also present explicit solutions to some 1/2-BPS equations, and also show that a particular composite of M-branes can preserve from 1/16 up to 3/4 of the original ${\cal N}=8$ supersymmetries.

Algebraic structures on parallel M2-branes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assume a certain algebraic structure for the low energy theory living on parallel M2 branes, and assume a topological degree-of-freedom field with topological degrees of freedom.

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.

N = 8 Superconformal Chern--Simons Theories
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibilities for constructing Lagrangian descriptions of three-dimensional superconformal classical gauge theories that contain a Chern-Simons term, but no kinetic term, for the gauge fields are explored.
