   Format: MarkdownItexI am trying to give more of the entries of the [[brane scan]] in low ambient dimension their proper names. Next to the [[little string]] in $D = 6$ the brane scan says that there is a Green-Schwarz action functional for a 3-brane $\sigma$-model in $D = 6$. This has been first written down in * James Hughes, Jun Liu, Joseph Polchinski, _Supermembranes_, Physics Letters B Volume 180, Issue 4, 20 November 1986, Pages 370–374 but it seems to go by no specific name apart from "the 3-brane in 6d". So I created a stub entry with that title, _[[3-brane in 6d]]_.
