Relation between non trivial M2-branes and D2-branes with fluxes

Abstract

We show the relation between three non trivial sectors of M2-brane theory formulated in the LCG connected among them by canonical transformations. These sectors correspond to the supermembrane theory formulated on a M9×T2M_9\times T^2 on three different constant three-form backgrounds: M2-brane with constant CC_{-}, M2-brane with constant C±C_{\pm} and M2-brane with a generic constant C3C_3 denoted as CM2-brane. The first two exhibit a purely discrete supersymmetric spectrum once the central charge condition, or equivalently, the corresponding flux condition has been turned on. The CM2-brane is conjectured to share this spectral property once that fluxes C±C_{\pm} are turned on. As shown in [1] they are duals to three inequivalent sectors of the D2-branes with specific worldvolume and background RR and NSNS quantization conditions on each case.
