As scalar fields in representation of SO(8) (corresponding to the eight directions transverse to M2-branes). Non-propagating gauge fields. in representation of SO(8). Mini-review of BLG theory J. Bagger and N. Lambert; arXiv: 0711.0955[hep-th] As a three domensional superconformal field theory with OSp(8|4) superalgebra. The bosonic part of the superalgebra is : Bosonic fields : Fermionic field : 3

  5. The BLG Lagrangian is : where Supersymmetry variations are : Indices take the values with being the dimension of 3-algebra. Superalgebra closes up to a gauge transformation on shell. 5

  6. 3. Party invariance : Original BLG : Some properties of BLG theory 1.Euclidean signature which are gauge theory It was proven that since the metric is positive definite the theory has solution which is . [J.P. Gauntlett and J.B. Gutowski; arXiv:0804.3078[hep-th]] Then the theory has been written as an ordinary gauge theory with gauge group as . [Mark Van Raamsdonk; arXiv:0803.3803[hep-th]] Metric is positive definite. Structure constant is totally antisymmetric and real. 2. The low energy limit of multiple M2-branes theory is expected to be an interacting 2+1 dimensional superconformal(Osp(8|4)superalgebra) field theory with eight transverse scalar fields as its bosonic content . [J. H. Schwarz; arXiv:hep-th/0411077] 6

  7. 4.There are two different approach to account for an arbitrary number of membrans. One approach is Lorentzian signature which are theories based on any Lie Algebra and another approach is ABJM model. 5. According to AdS/CFT and holographic principle this model lives on the boundary of which is . Metric is not positive definite. Structure constant is totally antisymmetric and real. Lorentzian signature [S.Benvenuti, D. Rodriguez-Gomez, E. Tonni and H. Verlinde; arXiv:0805.1087[hep-th]] ABJM model [O. Aharony, O. Bergman, D. Louis Jafferis and J. Maldacena; arXiv:0806.1218[hep-th]] ABJM theories have been obtained by relaxing the condition on 3-bracket so that it is no longer real and antisymmetric in all three indices but the metric is positive definite yet. [J. Bagger and N. Lambert; arXiv: 0807.0163[hep-th]]

  8. Metric of Killing spinor of Killing spinor Killing spinors on can be found in following way by using Killing spinors on . 8

  9. Then we have Relation between and Killing spinor of

  10. New BLG theory SUSY variations where . Closure of scalar field leads to : , where and We didn’t need equation of motion for scalar fields. 10

  11. Closure of supersymmetry over the fermionic field leads to where the equation of motion is and The last closure is with the following equation of motion 11

  12. By tacking super variations of the fermion eqution of motion we have : Finally BLG theory action is where 12

  13. 2. Parity invariance( ) is 4. Superalgebra where • For positive definite metric the above theory can be written as SU(2)xSU(2) • gauge theory. 3. It is easy to check that ABJM model can be written in the same way if one adds an appropriate term in variation of fermionic field which is where is in 6 of SU(4) and raised A index indicates that the field is in 4 of SU(4). 13

  14. BPS configuration By definition a BPS configuration is a state which is invariant under some Specific supersymmetry transformations. BPS equation where 14

  15. , is a dimensional constant, ,( is the SO(4) chirality) BPS equation In order to solve above equation we introduced where Then BPS equation leads which has a solution if . These solution are exactly fuzzy three sphere with SO(4) symmetry. Above equation shows that our solutions are ¼ BPS. 15

  16. and then that we have used One find another solution when is not constant and BPS equation leads to Two different cases or 16
