Introduction
During the past three years, there has been a lot of works about the action of 3D Chern-Simons-matter theory
They have arisen from searching the low energy effective action of multiple M2-branes Novelty is the appearance of new algebraic structure,
Lie 3-algebra
[Bagger-Lambert, Gustavsson]
However, the structure constant must satisfy the following Fundamental idenity (generalization of Jacobi identity)
for the closure of gauge symmetry
This identity is highly restrictive and a few examples are known in maximaly SUSY case

Introduction
What about M5-brane?
World volume theory of M2-brane (BLG theory, ABJM theory and their relationship) has been intensely studied and generate many interesting development (AdS/CMP, integrability, …)
low energy dynamics of M5-brane is thought to be described by a 6D theory which has
► supersymmetry
► Conformal symmetry
► SO(5)R symmetry
field contents are 5 scalars, a self dual 2-form and fermions [(2,0) tensor multiplet]
Covariant description of self dual form is not so easy and only the abelian (single M5-brane) case is known [Aganagic et.al.][Bandos et.al.]
But recently, a new approach toward the nonabelianization is proposed and our work is exploration of its properties

In the following discussions, we treat to be totally antisymetric This SUSY trans. respects SO(5)R and dilatation symmetry
(appropriate as the M5-brane theory)

Non-Abelian (2,0) theory
proposed non-Abelian (2,0) SUSY transformation closes under the following EOM and constraints
We can recover 5D SYM(D4-brane) by taking a VEV

Dp-branes from (2,0) theory
Now we start with
generalized loop algebra
This can be regarded as the original Lorentzian Lie 3-algebra including loop algebra ( in d=1, Kac-Moody algebra )
[Ho-Matsuo-Shiba ‘09][Kobo-Matsuo-Shiba ‘09]
This central extension is crucial to realize the torus compactification This type of BLG theory can be obtained by the scaling limit of the orbifolded ABJM theory [Y.H.-Zhang]

It is convenient to use the projection operator which determine how to decompose into and

These VEVs corresponds to the moduli parameter of torus compactification
and the metric of torus is determined by
Later we will see that is actually compactified on

► field and constraints
dimensional reduction of M-direction (M5→D4)
► spinor field
► scalar field
Using projection operator , we decompose the scalar fields as
(gauge field of fiber direction)
Then we obtain the kinetic part of gauge field (of fiber direction) as well as the scalar field

Kaluza-Klein mass by Higgs mechanism
In this stage, we can see how the higher dim. (p>4) Dp-brane theory arise
► In D4-brane perspective, this theory has mass term
similar mass terms exist for all the fields with index
KK-tower
Finally we obtain D(d+4)-brane whose worldvolume is
► If we define gamma matrices of new direction as , they satisfy and
Therefore, if we do a Fourier transformation, we obtain
Same procedure works out and we can construct higher dimensional fields defined by

Dp-branes from (2,0) theory
► gauge field
► self dual 2-form
We substitute the EOM of gauge field and the self duality conditon into the EOM of self dual 2-form
Then we obtain the EOM of the Yang-Mills gauge field
15/24
Dp-branes from (2,0) theory
We derive the equations of motion of Dp-brane whose world volume is from nonabelian (2,0) theory with Lie 3-algebra
We finally obtain the following EOM
These are precisely the EOM of (5+d)D SYM !!

NS5-branes from (2,0) theory
Type IIA NS5-brane is obtained by choosing VEV’s as
► However, it only provides the copies of the free (2,0) tensor multiplet and no proper interaction-like term seems to exist
For the Type IIB NS5-brane, the dimensional reduction occurs but
another direction of world volume appears and resulting theory becomes (1+5)D Moreover, in this case, we can read the string coupling from the gauge field and this enables us to check the S-duality between NS5-brane and D5-brane
► In this case dimensional reduction caused by doesn’t occur
because of the absence of the VEV of
So far, we consider only the reduction to the Dp-brane
So the world volume remains to be (1+5)D
17/24
IIB NS5-branes from (2,0) theory
This is because, in order to obtain IIB NS5-brane, we interchange the M-direction and T-duality direction in the D5-brane case
And we choose the VEV as
and reformulate the fields in a slightly different way from the previous case as We start with Lorentzian Lie 3-algebra with Kac-Moody algebra
M5-brane
IIA NS5-brane IIB NS5-brane
( 10： M-direction) compactification along 5 direction

IIB NS5-branes from (2,0) theory
For example, EOM of scalar field of 10 direction is VEV ：
This was an auxiliarly field on the Dp-brane but now this becomes a gauge field on the IIB NS5-brane
► Together with the identification ,
We finally obtain the expected EOM of extra gauge field
Similarly, other EOM’s are easily obtained and they are all consistent with the (1,1) vector multiplet of IIB NS5-brane

Aspects of U-duality
D5-brane on S^1
VEV corresponds with the compactification radius of M-direction as and the radius of transverse direction T-duality acts is
T-duality
On the other hand, we have obtained the D5-brane action given by
and these are consitent with the expected T-duality relation
First we consider the simplest case, D5-branes on ( M-theory compactified on ) In this case, the U-duality group is
(note that the world volume of fiber direction of D5-brane is a dual circle)
20/24
D5-brane on S^1
for the IIB NS5-brane, we can read the string coupling from the coefficient of the kimetic term of gauge field
This is the inverse of the string coupling in D5-brane theory and we see that the S-transformation is represented by the rotation of VEV
T-transformation
Therefore, we can realize the SL(2,Z) transformaion as a rotation of the VEV, as expected
21/24
In general, the U-duality group is
Dp-brane on T^(p-4)
Then we consider general case, Dp-branes on ( M-theory compactified on ) In this case, we can realize the moduli parameter as
and part of it can be realized by the transformaion of VEV’s as
However, we cannnot reproduce all the moduli parameters, at least in our set up

We derive Dp&NS5 from nonabelian (2,0) theory
As a consistency check, we see that the expected U-duality relations are co rrectly reproduced
In paricular, we realize the S-duality between IIB NS5 ⇔ D5
It is known that the Lorentzian BLG theory are derived from the scaling limi t of the ABJM theory and it is just conceivable that certain quiver gauge th eory has a origin of nonabelian (2,0) theory with Lie 3-algebra (but in gene ral the inverse process of scaling limit is not so easy)
