Turbulent aspects of Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase membrane dynamics

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We investigate the large- N limit of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) matrix model with classical bosonic membranes which have spherical topologies and spin inside the 11-dimensional maximally supersymmetric plane-wave background. First we classify all possible M2-brane configurations based on the distribution of their components inside the S O ( 3 ) × S O ( 6 ) symmetric plane-wave spacetime. We then formulate a number of simple but very representative of dielectric tops that rotate in this space. We examine the leading-order radial and angular/multipole stability for a wide range of these configurations. By analyzing perturbations at the next-to-leading order, we find that they exhibit the phenomenon of turbulent cascading of instabilities. Thereby, long-wavelength perturbations generate higher-order multipole instabilities through their nonlinear couplings.
