Super-Yang-Mills and M5-branes

We uplift 5-dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory to a 6-dimensional gauge theory with the help of a space-like constant vector η M , whose norm determines the YM coupling constant. After the localization of η M the 6D gauge theory acquires Lorentzian invariance as well as scale invariance. We discuss...

Zusammenfassung:We uplift 5-dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory to a 6-dimensional gauge theory with the help of a space-like constant vector η M , whose norm determines the YM coupling constant. After the localization of η M the 6D gauge theory acquires Lorentzian invariance as well as scale invariance. We discuss KK states, instantons and the flux quantization. The theory admits extended solutions like 1/2 BPS ‘strings’ and monopoles.
