Abstract
M-theory on admits a description where the factor is constructed as a timelike Hopf fibration over a non-compact three dimensional complex projective space . We consider the worldvolume theory for M5-branes at a fixed radius which, after reduction along the timelike fibre, is given by an -deformed Yang-Mills theory with eight supercharges. Taking the radius to infinity then induces a classical RG flow. We construct the fixed point action which has an enhanced 24 supercharges and which can be understood as the theory of M5-branes on flat space reduced along a compact null Killing direction.
