标题： Eleven Dimensions from the Massive D-2-brane

摘要： 我们通过一个十一维描述来研究质量型IIB理论中的D-2膜，这是理解该理论在十一维中的第一步。 通过世界体积上的IIA/M理论对偶变换，我们证明了质量型D-2膜等价于十一维中耦合到辅助矢量场的膜的降维。 这个矢量场的作用是在世界体积上保持对质量规范变换的不变性，并具有由与$1/m$成正比的Chern-Simons项所支配的非平凡动力学。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We find an eleven dimensional description of the D-2-brane of the massive type IIA theory as a first step towards an understanding of this theory in eleven dimensions. By means of a world-volume IIA/M theory duality transformation we show that the massive D-2-brane is equivalent to the dimensional reduction of the eleven dimensional membrane coupled to an auxiliary vector field. The role of this vector field is to preserve the invariance under massive gauge transformations in the world-volume and has non-trivial dynamics, governed by a Chern-Simons term proportional to $1/m$.
