Abstract

By compactifying the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson model on R1,1×S1\mathbb{R}^{1,1} \times S^1, we obtain a new two dimensional massless field theory with dynamical fields valued in the Lie 3-algebra A\mathcal{A} coupled with an SO(1,1) scalar and vector field which are valued in the set End(A)End(\mathcal{A}) of the endomorphisms of the Lie 3-algebra. In the limit gBLGg_{BLG} \to \infty the theory reduces to a supersymmetric Lie 3-valued generalization of the Green-Schwarz superstring in the light-cone gauge.

Major modifications. The interpretations of the dynamical fields corrected. The discussion of the weak/strong coupling limits in considerably extended in Section 4. Several formulas simplified. References added. 11 pages
