We analyze the Hamiltonian of the compactified D=11 supermembrane with non-trivial central charge in terms of the matrix model constructed recently by some of the authors. Our main result provides a rigorous proof that the quantum Hamiltonian of the supersymmetric model has compact resolvent and thus its spectrum consists of a discrete set of eigenvalues with finite multiplicity.

  1. 2-Group global symmetry in the compactified M2-brane

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Wess–Zumino coupling of the compactified M2-brane forces its monopole 0-form and winding 1-form symmetries into a 2-group whose Postnikov class is the mixed quantized flux.

  2. On the large N convergence of matrix models

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the semiclassical approximation the eigenvalues of the SU(N) matrix model Hamiltonian converge one-to-one to the eigenvalues of the continuum supermembrane Hamiltonian with central charge as N approaches infinity.

  3. M2-branes, Higher Form Symmetries and 1-Gerbes

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A torsion gerbe on the M2-brane worldvolume cancels a mixed higher-form anomaly, breaking U(1) symmetries to discrete subgroups and imposing a worldvolume flux condition.
