Abstract

We study the world-volume effective action of an exotic five-brane, known as the M-theory 53{}^3-brane (M53{}^3-brane) in eleven dimensions. The supermultiplet of the world-volume theory is the N=(2,0)\mathcal{N} = (2, 0) tensor multiplet in six dimensions. The world-volume action contains three Killing vectors k^I^M (I^=1,2,3)\hat{k}_{\hat{I}} {}^M \ (\hat{I} =1,2,3) associated with the U(1)3U(1)^3 isometry. We find the effective T-duality rule for the eleven-dimensional backgrounds that transforms the M5-brane effective action to that of the M53{}^3-brane. We also show that our action provides the source term for the M53{}^3-brane geometry in eleven-dimensional supergravity
