M-Brane Models and Loop Spaces

Understand

I review an extension of the ADHMN construction of monopoles to M-brane models.

• This extended construction gives a map from solutions to the Basu-Harvey equation to solutions to the self-dual string equation transgressed to loop space.
• Loop spaces appear in fact quite naturally in M-brane models.
• This is demonstrated by translating a recently proposed M5-brane model to loop space.
