M5-brane Effective Action as an On-shell Action in Supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

We show that the covariant effective action for M5-brane is a solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equations of 11-dimensional supergravity. The solution to the H-J equations reproduces the supergravity solution that represents the M2-M5 bound states.
