We propose a complete, d=6 covariant and kappa-symmetric, action for an M-theory five-brane propagating in D=11 supergravity background.

Classical BPS M5-brane on the plane wave background
hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

The authors derive explicit rotating ellipsoidal M5-brane solutions that saturate the BPS bound on the plane wave background.
Tensionless limit of M5-brane and conformal symmetry of its bosonic body
hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

The tensionless M5-brane has a complete action whose bosonic sector is invariant under 11D conformal symmetry and reduces to conformal chiral 2-form electrodynamics when transverse fluctuations vanish.
Continuous symmetries and charge measurement of boundary operators in holography
hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Continuous symmetry operators in holography are U-shaped hanging brane bound states (D5-KK in Type IIB, M5-KK in M-theory) whose worldvolume couplings reproduce the Gauss-law symmetry operators and measure charges of ...
