Abstract

We write down M2-branes on the resolved C4/Z4C_4/Z_4 orbifold space. The resolved spatial geometry is such that it interpolates between R2×CP3R^2\times CP_3 near the branes and C4/Z4C_4/Z_4 asymptotically. The near horizon geometry of these branes is a deformation of AdS4×S7/Z4AdS_4\times S^7/Z_4. An interesting aspect is that for k=4k=4 Chern-Simons theory coupling becomes vanishing near the IR cutoff leading to spontaneous compactification to type IIA.
