Abstract

In the course of closing supersymmetry on parallel M2 branes up to a gauge transformation, following the suggestion in hep-th/0611108 of incorporating a gauge field which only has topological degrees of freedom, we are led to assume a certain algebraic structure for the low energy theory supposedly living on parallel M2 branes.
