We construct the supermembrane action in an AdS_4 x S^7 and AdS_7 x S^4 background to all orders in anticommuting coordinates. The result is compared to and agrees completely with results obtained earlier for generic supergravity…
We consider different M2-brane configurations in the M-theory AdS_7xS^4 background, with field theory dual A_{N-1}(2,0) SCFT. New membrane solutions are found and compared with the recently obtained ones.
Motivated by the recent achievements in the framework of the semiclassical limit of the M-theory/field theory correspondence, we propose an approach for obtaining exact membrane solutions in general enough M-theory backgrounds, having field…
We show that the $E-S \sim \log S$ behaviour found for long strings rotating on $AdS_5\times S^5$ may be reproduced by membranes rotating on $AdS_4\times S^7$ and on a warped $AdS_5$ M-theory solution. We go on to obtain rotating membrane…
We investigate classical rotating membranes in two different backgrounds. First, we obtain membrane solution in $AdS_4\times S^7$ background, analogous to the solution obtained by Hofman and Maldacena in the case of string theory. We find a…

A long standing problem is the supergauge completion of AdS_4 x (G/H)_7 or AdS_5 x (G/H)_5 backgrounds which preserve less then maximal supersymmetry. In parallel with the supersolvable realization of the AdS_4 x S^7 background based on…
We show that for each M-theory background, having subspaces with metrics of given type, there exist M2-brane configurations, which in appropriate limit lead to two-spin magnon-like energy-charge relations, established for strings on AdS_5 x…
We study multiwrapped circular string pulsating in the radial direction of AdS black hole. We compute the energy of this string as a function of a large quantum number n. One then could associate it with energy and a quantum number of…
We analyze supersymmetric solutions of M-theory based an a seven-dimensional internal space with SU(3) structure and a four-dimensional maximally symmetric space. The most general supersymmetry conditions are derived and we show that a…
We obtain exact rotating membrane solutions and explicit expressions for the conserved charges on a manifold with exactly known metric of G_2 holonomy in M-theory, with four dimensional N=1 field theory dual. After that, we investigate…
We present and analyze solutions of D=11 supergravity describing the ``near-horizon'' (i.e., asymptotically AdS_4 x S^7) geometry of M2-branes wrapped on surfaces of arbitrary genus. We study the forces experienced by test M2-branes in such…
We study a rotating probe membrane in S^3 inside AdS_4 x S^7 background of M-theory. With (partial) gauge fixing, we show that in the fast limit the worldvolume of tensionless membrane reduces to either the XXX_1/2 spin chain or the…
The world-volume action of the M2 brane and the M5-brane in an adS_4 x S^7 and a adS_7 x S^4 background is derived to all orders in anticommuting superspace coordinates. Contrary to recent constructions of super p-brane actions relying on…
We consider states with large angular momentum to facilitate the study of the M-theory regime of the AdS_4/CFT_3 correspondence. We study the duality between M-theory in AdS_4xS^7/Z_k and the ABJM N=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory with gauge…
M-theory is known to possess supersymmetric solutions where the geometry is $\mathrm{AdS}_3\times S^3\times S^3$ warped over a Riemann surface $\Sigma_{2}$. The simplest examples in this class can be engineered by placing M2 and M5 branes…
