This research explores newly discovered three-dimensional superconformal theories, particularly focusing on the N=8 theory related to M2 branes in M-theory. The project aims to investigate the connections between strings and membranes to deepen the understanding of M-theory.
Recently a new class of three dimensional N=8 and N=6 superconformal theory has been discovered.
These theories are defined by a classical action and have a (discrete) parameter k that can serve as a coupling constant.
Taking k large (coupling small) one can use perturbation Feynman diagram techniques.
The theory for k=1 is particularly interesting as it is conjectured to be the N=8 theory living on coincident M2 branes (membranes).
Membranes are extended objects in M-theory, and some believe th…
