18 Dec 2001 | Journal: | Nucl.Phys. B630 (2002) 178-202 | Subject: | hep-th | Affiliation: | ICN-UNAM | Abstract: | Through direct examination of the effect of the OM limit on the M2-brane worldvolume action, we derive a membrane action for OM theory, and more generally, for the eleven-dimensional M-theoretic construct known as Galilean or Wrapped M2-brane (WM2) theory, which contains OM theory as a special class of states. In the static gauge, the action in question implies a discrete spectrum for the closed membrane of WM2 theory, which under double dimensional reduction is shown to reproduce the known NCOS/Wound closed string spectrum. We examine as well open membranes ending on each of the three types of M5-branes in WM2 theory (OM theory arising from the ’longitudinal’ type), and show that the ’fully transverse’ fivebrane is tensionless. As a prelude to the membrane, we also study the case of the string, where we likewise obtain a reparametrization-invariant action, and make contact with previous work. | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0201140 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
