This paper presents a 6d world-volume action that describes the dynamics of the M theory five-brane in a flat 11d space-time background. The world-volume action has global 11d super-Poincare invariance, as well as 6d general coordinate invariance and kappa symmetry, which are realized as local symmetries. The paper mostly considers a formulation in which general coordinate invariance is not manifest in one direction. However, it also describes briefly an alternative formulation, due to Pasti, Sorokin, and Tonin, in which general coordinate invariance is manifest. The latter approach requires auxiliary fields and new gauge invariances.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. Tensionless limit of M5-brane and conformal symmetry of its bosonic body

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The tensionless M5-brane has a complete action whose bosonic sector is invariant under 11D conformal symmetry and reduces to conformal chiral 2-form electrodynamics when transverse fluctuations vanish.

  2. BPS Fivebrane Stars III: Effective Actions

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An NS5-brane plus supergravity effective action reproduces BPS supertube solutions with transverse and internal modes and yields new correlation functions of density and graviton fluctuations.

  3. Semiclassical quantization of M5 brane probes wrapped on $\textrm{AdS}_3\times S^3$ and defect anomalies

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One-loop free energies of the three AdS3 x S3 M5 brane probes vanish, confirming the absence of order N^0 terms in the defect b-anomaly coefficients.

  4. A toy model for $p$-form gauge symmetry

    hep-th 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper introduces a matrix toy model that inherits p-form gauge symmetry from the functional space of p-brane configurations via symmetric trace after replacing the infinite-dimensional space with finite matrices.

  5. Engineering a Digital Twin for the Monitoring and Control of Beer Fermentation Sampling

    cs.SE 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    An experience report claims a Type 2 digital twin for beer fermentation reduces manual sampling time by 91% and enables control at seven bar.
