### Boundary conditions for interacting membranes

• Physics
• 2009
We investigate supersymmetric boundary conditions in both the Bagger-Lambert and the ABJM theories of interacting membranes. We find boundary conditions associated to the fivebrane, the ninebrane and

### Aspects of Supersymmetry in Multiple Membrane Theories

This thesis consists of two parts. In the first part we investigate the worldvolume supersymmetry algebra of multiple membrane theories. We begin with a description of M-theory branes and their

### Boundary effects in super-Yang–Mills theory

• Physics
• 2017
In this paper, we shall analyze a three dimensional supersymmetry theory with $$\mathcal {N} = 2$$N=2 supersymmetry. We will analyze the quantization of this theory, in the presence of a boundary.

### Supersymmetric Boundary Conditions in Three Dimensional N = 2 Theories

• Mathematics, Physics
• 2013
We study supersymmetric boundary conditions in three-dimensional N=2 Landau-Ginzburg models and Abelian gauge theories. In the Landau-Ginzburg model the boundary conditions that preserve (1,1)

### Boundary effects in the BLG theory

In this paper, we will analyze a system of multiple M2-branes in between two M5-branes. This will be analyzed by studying Bagger–Lambert–Gustavsson (BLG) theory on a manifold with two boundaries. The

### Supersymmetric boundaries and junctions in four dimensions

A bstractWe make a comprehensive study of (rigid) $\mathcal{N} = {1}$ supersymmetric sigma-models with general Kähler potentials K and superpotentials w on four-dimensional space-times with

### Supersymmetric Chern-Simons Theory in Presence of a Boundary in the Light-Like Direction

• Physics
• 2012
Abstract 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 n ⋅ x = 0

### Singular BPS boundary conditions in N = (2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theories

• Mathematics
• 2021
We derive general BPS boundary conditions in two-dimensional N = (2, 2) supersymmetric gauge theories. We analyze the solutions of these boundary conditions, and in particular those that allow the

### Topological M-Strings and Supergroup WZW Models

• Mathematics
• 2018
We study the boundary conditions in topologically twisted Chern-Simons matter theories with the Lie 3-algebraic structure. We find that the supersymmetric boundary conditions and the gauge invariant

### Membranes on an orbifold.

• Mathematics
Physical review letters
• 2008
An M theory interpretation of the recently discovered N=8 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory with SO(4) gauge symmetry is provided to describe two membranes moving in the orbifold R8/Z2.

### Towards the quantum geometry of the M5-brane in a constant C-field from multiple membranes

• Physics
• 2009
We show that the Nahm equation which describes a fuzzy D3-brane in the presence of a B-field can be derived as a boundary condition of the F1-strings ending on the D3-brane, and that the

• Physics
• 2008
Recently a three-dimensional field theory was derived that is consistent with all the symmetries expected of the worldvolume action for multiple M2-branes. In this note we examine several physical

### Comments on the Bagger-Lambert theory and multiple M2-branes

We study the SO(8) superconformal theory proposed recently by Bagger and Lambert as a possible worldvolume theory for multiple M2-branes. For their explicit example with gauge group SO(4), we rewrite

### A Massive Study of M2-brane Proposals

• Physics
• 2008
We test the proposals for the worldvolume theory of M2-branes by studying its maximally supersymmetric mass-deformation. We check the simplest prediction for the mass-deformed theory on N M2-branes:

### Open membranes, ribbons, and deformed schild strings

• Physics
• 2004
We analyze open membranes immersed in a magnetic three-form field-strength $C$. While cylindrical membranes in the absence of $C$ behave like tensionless strings, when the $C$ flux is present the
