Abstract

We construct the interaction terms between the world-volume fields of multiple M2-branes and the 3-and 6-form fields in the context of ABJM theory with U(N)×U(N) gauge symmetry. A consistency check is made in the simplest case of a single M2-brane i.e., our construction matches the known effective action of M2-brane coupled to antisymmetric 3-form field. We show that when dimensionally reduced, our couplings coincide with the effective action of D2-branes coupled to R-R 3-and 5-form fields in type IIA string theory. We also comment on the relation between a coupling with a specific 6-form field configuration and the supersymmetry preserving mass deformation in ABJM theory.
