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

Superembedding approach to M-waves and Matrix model interaction with eleven dimensional supergravity
After a brief and elementary introduction to superfield methods and, particularly, to superembedding approach to supersymmetric extended objects, super-p-branes, we apply this latter to search for equations of motion for the system of multiple M0-branes (multiple M-waves or eleven dimensional massless superparticles) in an arbitrary curved 11D supergravity superspace. In such a way we obtain the covariant equations describing Matrix model interaction with an arbitrary supergravity background. Superembedding approach also allows to find the BPS conditions for the supersymmetric solutions of the multiple M-wave equations. We discuss the 1/2 supersymmetric solution modeling M2-brane (11D supermembrane) by a multiple M-wave configuration and show that the famous Nahm equations appear as a particular case of the 1/4 BPS conditions.
