Abstract

We consider the effective action of M-theory compactified on a S1/Z2 orbifold with R2 interaction in the Gauss-Bonnet combination. We derive equations of motion with source terms arising from the Gauss-Bonnet terms and find the M2-brane solution up to order κ2/3. It receives a correction which depends on the orbifold coordinate in the same form as the gauge 5-brane solution.
