We cast M-brane interactions including intersecting membranes and five-branes in manifestly gauge invariant form using an arrangement of higher dimensional Dirac surfaces. We show that the noncommutative gauge symmetry present in the doubled M-theory formalism involving dual 3-form and 6-form gauge fields is preserved in a form quantised over the integers. The proper context for discussing large noncommutative gauge transformations is relative cohomology, in which the 3-form transformation parameters become exact when restricted to the five-brane worldvolume. We show how this structure yields the lattice of M-theory charges and gives rise to the conjectured 7D Hopf-Wess-Zumino term.

  1. Non-Invertible Symmetries in Compactified Supergravities

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Non-invertible symmetry defects from 11D supergravity descend to Type IIA, splitting the Bianchi sector into invertible H[3] and twisted non-invertible F[4] parts with a BF-type auxiliary sector.
