nLab NP-M5 model -- references

On the Nambu-Poisson M5-brane model — a sigma-model for M5-branes with product worldvolume Σ 1,5X 1,2×Y 3\Sigma^{1,5} \simeq X^{1,2} \times Y^3 carrying large constant H 3 H_3 flux density — obtained via an M-theoretic version the of Myers effect from the BLG model for coincident M2-branes with worldvolume X 1,2X^{1,2}, by taking the latter’s controlling M-brane 3-algebra to be the Nambu bracket on the smooth functions over the 3-manifold Y 3Y^3 (globalized via VPD gauge symmetry).
