Description |
The M5-branes are magnetically dual cousins of M2-branes. But writing down an interacting field theory for multiple M5-branes has remained an elusive goal so far. Recent constructions of various membrane theories, such as ABJM and BLG Chern-Simons matter theories, has led to some understanding that gauge-fields are the vital building blocks in M-theory as well. I shall present an unique way to uplift the cosmetic structure of 5D SYM to a 6-dimensional framework. The new 6-dimensional theory acquires scale invariance. |
