Abstract

We consider Euclidean quantum M5 brane theory on $S^1\times S^5$ . Dimensional reduction along $S^1$ gives a 5d SYM on $S^5$ . We derive this 5d SYM theory from a classical Lorentzian M5 brane Lagrangian on $S^1 \times S^5$ , where $S^1$ is a timelike circle of radius $T$ , by performing a Scherk-Schwarz reduction along $S^1$ followed by Wick rotation of $T$ .
