Abstract:
In this talk we will explore a realisation of the six-dimensional (2,0) super-algebra. In particular we will show how various solutions of the associated constraints lead to descriptions of M2-branes and M5-branes. We will further argue that there is an M-theory version of T-duality that relates these various descriptions.
