Boundary effects in the BLG theory
Abstract
In this paper, we will analyze a system of multiple M2-branes in between two M5-branes. This will be analyzed by studying Bagger–Lambert–Gustavsson (BLG) theory on a manifold with two boundaries. The original BLG theory will be modified to make it gauge and supersymmetric invariant in presence of the boundaries. However, this modified theory will only preserve half the supersymmetry of the original theory. We will also analyze the deformation of this theory caused by noncommutativity between Grassman coordinates and spacetime coordinates. Finally, we will analyze the Higgsing of this theory to deformed D2-branes with boundaries.
