Abstract

In this talk we will review the construction of M2-brane SCFT's highlighting some novelties and the role of 3-algebras. Parts of our discussion will closely follow parts of arXiv:1203.3546. Next we will discuss M5-branes: the basics, the obstacles as well as various attempts to construct the associated SCFT and potential relations between M2-branes and M5-branes.
