We construct an action for unstable M3-brane in M-theory. We argue that in order to find M3-brane action that upon direct dimensional reduction leads to non-BPS D3-brane action in type IIA theory we have to presume that the background possesses Killing isometry and that this isometry has to be gauged on the world-volume of M3-brane. Then we construct singular tachyon kink on world-volume of M3-brane and we show that the dynamics of resulting topological defect is governed by an action that upon direct dimensional reduction leads to D2-brane in type IIA theory and that is equivalent to standard M2-brane action in flat background.

    Carroll-limit world-volume actions, Hamilton's equations, and constraint structures are derived for M2 and tachyonic M3 branes in 11D supergravity, with an equivalence proof between Polyakov-type and Nambu-Goto formulations.
