M theory on the orbifold C2/ZN
Abstract
We construct M theory on the orbifold C2/ZN by coupling 11-dimensional supergravity to a seven-dimensional Yang-Mills theory located on the orbifold fixed plane. It is shown that the resulting action is supersymmetric to leading nontrivial order in the 11-dimensional Newton constant. This action provides the starting point for a reduction of M theory on G2 spaces with codimension four singularities.
