Abstract

Partition functions for M2-brane theories in various backgrounds are computed. We consider in particular configurations of membranes at orbifold singularities preserving N = 5 or N = 6 supersymmetry. The worldvolume membrane theory for some of these configurations has been recently constructed in terms of N = 6 Chern-Simons theories. The detailed structure of the partition functions as well as their transformation rules under the R-symmetry are explicitly computed using the Plethystic Programme. © 2008 SISSA.
