On the Nambu-Poisson M5-brane model — a sigma-model for M5-branes with product worldvolume carrying large constant flux density — obtained via an M-theoretic version the of Myers effect from the BLG model for coincident M2-branes with worldvolume , by taking the latter’s controlling M-brane 3-algebra to be the Nambu bracket on the smooth functions over the 3-manifold (globalized via VPD gauge symmetry).
