Nonabelian (2,0) Tensor Multiplets and 3-algebras

Constantinos Papageorgakis

Using 3-algebras we obtain a nonabelian system of equations that furnish a representation of the (2, 0)-supersymmetric tensor multiplet. The on-shell conditions are quite restrictive so that the system can be reduced to five-dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory along with six-dimensional abelian (2, 0) tensor multiplets. We discuss possible applications to D4-branes and M5-branes.
