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.)
