Description
I will discuss BPS equations which determine the configuration of
a bound state of M2-branes and M5-branes preserving half of the
supersymmetries in Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) theory.
The ABJM theory is believed to describe the low energy effective
theory of M2-branes, which are the fundamental objects in M-theory.
Recently we found that the BPS equations are classically integrable,
showing that they admit a Lax representation. In this talk, I will
explain the integrable structure of the BPS equations and how to
construct solutions by making use of it. (This talk is based on the
work arXiv:1308.3583 in collaboration with S. Terashima.)
