Abstract
Concise summary of the recent progress in the search for
the world-volume action for multiple M2 branes.
After a recent discovery of simplified version of BLG
action, which is based on the ordinary Lie-algebra
structure, does not have coupling constants and
extra dynamical fields, attention should be switched
to the study of M2 brane dynamics.
A viable brane analogue of Polyakov formalism and
Belavin-Knizhnik theorem for strings can probably
be provided by Palatini formalism for 3d (super)gravity.
