Duality symmetric string and M-theory

DS Berman, DC Thompson - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
We review recent developments in duality symmetric string theory. We begin with the world-
sheet doubled formalism which describes strings in an extended spacetime with extra …

The geometry, branes and applications of exceptional field theory

DS Berman, C Blair - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2020 - World Scientific
This is a review of exceptional field theory: a generalisation of Kaluza–Klein theory that
unifies the metric and p-form gauge field degrees of freedom of supergravity into a …

Gauge symmetry and supersymmetry of multiple M2-branes

J Bagger, N Lambert - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2008 - APS
In previous work we proposed a field theory model for multiple M2-branes based on an
algebra with a totally antisymmetric triple product. In this paper we gauge a symmetry that …

Comments on multiple M2-branes

J Bagger, N Lambert - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

𝒩= 4 Superconformal Chern-Simons theories with hyper and twisted hyper multiplets

K Hosomichi, KM Lee, S Lee, S Lee… - Journal of High Energy …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We extend the Script N= 4 superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten to
those with additional twisted hyper-multiplets. The new theories are generically linear quiver …

Probing supersymmetric black holes with surface defects

Y Chen, M Heydeman, Y Wang, M Zhang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract It has long been conjectured that the large N deconfinement phase transition
of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 SU (N) super-Yang-Mills corresponds via AdS/CFT to the Hawking …

M2 to D2

S Mukhi, C Papageorgakis - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the recently proposed``3-algebra''field theory for multiple M2-branes and show
that when a scalar field valued in the 3-algebra develops a vacuum expectation value, the …

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

M Van Raamsdonk - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

M2 to D2 revisited

PM Ho, Y Imamura, Y Matsuo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present two derivations of the multiple D2 action from the multiple M2-brane model
proposed by Bagger-Lambert and Gustavsson. The first one is to start from Lie 3-algebra …

The classical double copy for M-theory from a Kerr-Schild ansatz for exceptional field theory

DS Berman, K Kim, K Lee - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We construct the classical double copy formalism for M-theory. This extends the
current state of the art by including the three form potential of eleven dimensional …
