The M2–M5 brane system and a generalized Nahm's equation

A Basu, JA Harvey - Nuclear Physics B, 2005 - Elsevier
We propose an equation that describes M2-branes ending on M5-branes, and which
generalizes the description of the D1–D3 system via Nahm's equation. The simplest solution …

M-theory branes and their interactions

DS Berman - Physics reports, 2008 - Elsevier
In recent years there has been some progress in understanding how one might model the
interactions of branes in M-theory despite not having a fundamental perturbative description …

Hopf maps, lowest Landau level, and fuzzy spheres

K Hasebe - SIGMA. Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods …, 2010 - emis.de
This paper is a review of monopoles, lowest Landau level, fuzzy spheres, and their mutual
relations. The Hopf maps of division algebras provide a prototype relation between …

The fuzzy S2 structure of M2-M5 systems in ABJM membrane theories

H Nastase, C Papageorgakis… - Journal of High Energy …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyse the fluctuations of the ground-state/funnel solutions proposed to describe M2-
M5 systems in the level-k mass-deformed/pure Chern-Simons-matter ABJM theory of …

[HTML][HTML] Supersymmetric Chern–Simons theory in presence of a boundary in the light-like direction

J Vohánka, M Faizal - Nuclear Physics B, 2016 - Elsevier
In this paper, we will analyze a three dimensional supersymmetric Chern–Simons theory on
a manifold with a boundary. The boundary we will consider in this paper will be defined by …

Quintessence and phantom dark energy from ghost -branes

EN Saridakis, J Ward - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2009 - APS
We present a novel dark-energy candidate, based upon the existence and dynamics of
ghost D-branes in a warped compactification of type IIB string theory. G p-branes cancel the …

[HTML][HTML] Four dimensional supersymmetric theories in presence of a boundary

M Faizal, A Awad - Physics Letters B, 2015 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study N= 1 supersymmetric theories in four dimensions in presence of a
boundary. We demonstrate that it is possible to preserve half the supersymmetry of the …

Non-associative gauge theory and higher spin interactions

P de Medeiros, S Ramgoolam - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We give a framework to describe gauge theory on a certain class of commutative but non-
associative fuzzy spaces. Our description is in terms of an abelian gauge connection valued …

Looking for a Matrix model for ABJM theory

A Mohammed, J Murugan, H Nastase - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2010 - APS
Encouraged by the recent construction of fuzzy sphere solutions in the Aharony, Bergman,
Jafferis, and Maldacena (ABJM) theory, we re-analyze the latter from the perspective of a …
