Intheoretical physics, anM2-brane, is a spatially extended mathematical object (brane) that appears instring theory and in related theories (e.g.M-theory,F-theory). In particular, it is a solution ofeleven-dimensional supergravity which possesses a three-dimensionalworld volume.

Description

[edit]

The M2-brane solution can be found^[1] by requiring $(Poincare)_{3}\times SO(8)$ symmetry of the solution and solving thesupergravity equations of motion with thep-brane ansatz. The solution is given by ametric and three-form gauge field which, in isotropic coordinates, can be written as

{\begin{aligned}ds_{M2}^{2}&=\left(1+{\frac {q}{r^{6}}}\right)^{-{\frac {2}{3}}}dx^{\mu }dx^{\nu }\eta _{\mu \nu }+\left(1+{\frac {q}{r^{6}}}\right)^{\frac {1}{3}}dx^{i}dx^{j}\delta _{ij}\\F_{i\mu _{1}\mu _{2}\mu _{3}}&=\epsilon _{\mu _{1}\mu _{2}\mu _{3}}\partial _{i}\left(1+{\frac {q}{r^{6}}}\right)^{-1},\quad \mu =1,\ldots ,3\quad i=4,\ldots ,11,\end{aligned}}

where $\eta$ is theflat-space metric and the distinction has been made between world volume $x^{\mu }$ and transverse $x^{i}$ coordinates. The constant $q {\displaystyle q}$ is proportional to thecharge of the brane which is given by the integral of $F {\displaystyle F}$ over the boundary of the transverse space of the brane.^[2]
