Supermembrane compactified on a $M_9times T^2$ target space is globally described by the inequivalent classes of torus bundles over torus. These torus bundles have monodromy in $SL(2,Z)$ when they correspond to the nontrivial central charge sector and they are trivial otherwise. The first ones contain eight inequivalent classes of M2-brane bundles which at low energies, are in correspondence with the eight type II gauged supergravities in $9D$. The relation among them is completely determined by the global action of T-duality which interchanges topological invariants of the two tori. The M2-brane torus bundles are invariant under $SL(2,Z)times SL(2,Z) times Z_2$. From the effective point of view, there is another dual invariant theory, called Double Field Theory which describe invariant actions under $O(D,D)$. Globally it is formulated in terms of doubled $2D$ torus fibrations over the spacetime with a monodromy given by $O(D,D,Z)$. In this note we discuss T-duality global aspects considered in both theories and we emphasize certain similarities between both approaches which could give some hints towards a deeper relationship between them.

We show how the SL(5) duality in M-theory is explained from a canonical analysis of M2-brane mechanics. Diffeomorphism constraints for a M2-brane coupled to supergravity background in d=4 are reformulated in a SL(5) covariant form, in which spatial d
iffeomorphism constraints are recast into a SL(5) vector and the generalized metric in the Hamiltonian constraint is quartic in the SL(5) generalized vielbein. The Hamiltonian for a M2 brane has the SL(5) duality symmetry in a background dependent gauge.
We study partition functions of low-energy effective theories of M2-branes, whose type IIB brane constructions include orientifolds. We mainly focus on circular quiver superconformal Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$, whose gauge group is $O(2N+1)times US
p(2N)times cdots times O(2N+1)times USp(2N)$. This theory is the natural generalization of the $mathcal{N}=5$ ABJM theory with the gauge group $O(2N+1)_{2k} times USp(2N)_{-k}$. We find that the partition function of this type of theory has a simple relation to the one of the M2-brane theory without the orientifolds, whose gauge group is $U(N)times cdots times U(N)$. By using this relation, we determine an exact form of the grand partition function of the $O(2N+1)_{2} times USp(2N)_{-1}$ ABJM theory, where its supersymmetry is expected to be enhanced to $mathcal{N}=6$. As another interesting application, we discuss that our result gives a natural physical interpretation of a relation between the grand partition functions of the $U(N+1)_4 times U(N)_{-4}$ ABJ theory and $U(N)_2 times U(N)_{-2}$ ABJM theory, recently conjectured by Grassi-Hatsuda-Mari~no. We also argue that partition functions of $hat{A}_3$ quiver theories have representations in terms of an ideal Fermi gas systems associated with $hat{D}$-type quiver theories and this leads an interesting relation between certain $U(N)$ and $USp(2N)$ supersymmetric gauge theories.
We compute the large N limit of Wilson loop expectation values for a broad class of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories defined on a general class of background three-manifolds M_3, diffeomorphic to S^3. We find a simple closed formula which depends on
the background geometry only through a certain supersymmetric Killing vector field. The supergravity dual of such a Wilson loop is an M2-brane wrapping the M-theory circle, together with a complex curve in a self-dual Einstein manifold M_4, whose conformal boundary is M_3. We show that the regularized action of this M2-brane also depends only on the supersymmetric Killing vector, precisely reproducing the large N field theory computation.
We investigate the gauge/gravity duality between the ${cal N} = 6$ mass-deformed ABJ theory with U$_k(N+l)times$U$_{-k}(N)$ gauge symmetry and the 11-dimensional supergravity on LLM geometries with SO(2,1)$times$SO(4)/${mathbb Z}_ktimes$SO(4)/${mathb
b Z}_k$ isometry and the discrete torsion $l$. For chiral primary operators with conformal dimensions $Delta=1,2$, we obtain the exact vacuum expectation values using the holographic method in 11-dimensional supergravity and show that the results depend on the shapes of droplet pictures in LLM geometries. The $frac{l}{sqrt{N}}$ contributions from the discrete torsion $l$ for several simple droplet pictures in the large $N$ limit are determined in holographic vacuum expectation values. We also explore the effects of the orbifolding ${mathbb Z}_k$ and the asymptotic discrete torsion $l$, on the gauge/gravity duality dictionary and on the nature of the asymptotic limits of the LLM geometries.
We define and compute algebraically a perturbative part of protected sphere correlation functions in the M2 brane SCFTs. These correlation functions are expected to have a holographic description in terms of twisted, $Omega$-deformed M-theory. We unc
over a hidden perturbative triality symmetry which supports this conjecture. We also discuss some variants of the setup, involving M2 branes at $A_k$ singularities and D3 branes with a transverse compact direction.
