摘要
We present a generalization of the six-dimensional (2, 0) system of arXiv :1007.2982 to include a constant abelian 3-form. For vanishing 3-form this system is known to provide a variety descriptions of parallel M5-branes. For a particular choice of 3-form the system is shown to reduce to that of two M2-branes. Thus tins generalised (2, 0) system provides a unified description of two parallel M2-branes or M5-branes.
