Covariant Field Equations of the M Theory Five-Brane
P. S. Howe, E. Sezgin, P. C. West
Abstract
The component form of the equations of motion for the 5-brane in eleven-dimensions is derived from the superspace equations. These equations are fully covariant in six-dimensions. It is shown that double-dimensional reduction of the bosonic equations gives the equations of motion for a 4-brane in ten dimensions governed by the Born-Infeld action.
