Discrete Torsion and Branes in M-theory from Mathematical Viewpoint

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v4

Abstract

We study orbifold group actions on locally defined fields upon M-theory branes in a three-form C-fields background. We derive some constraints from the consistency of the orbifold group actions. We show the possibility of the existence of M-theory discrete torsion for the fields on the worldvolume and discuss its features.
