Abstract: It is well-known that a supermembrane in the light-cone gauge has a continuous spectrum and is unstable. Physical interpretation of this instability is that a supermembrane can have a long thin tube without cost of energy and consequently it becomes a spiky configuration in which multiple membranes are connected by thin tubes. On the other hand, the ABJM model was proposed as a low-energy description of multiple M2-branes in the static gauge. It is natural that an M2-brane is also unstable in this gauge if we believe the physical picture in the light-cone gauge. In order to examine this, we construct a BPS solution explicitly both in the Nambu-Goto action of a supermembrane in the static gauge and in the U(1){ imes}U(1) ABJM model, which represents intersecting M2-branes. Since this configuration is regarded as a single M2-brane emitting another one, we study the instability of an M2-brane by analyzing fluctuations around it. We show that a zero mode exists which can deform the configuration. For comparison, we also examine a similar configuration on the D2-brane and check that it does not have such zero modes under a fixed string charge. Furthermore we confirm that the novel Higgs mechanism translates our BPS solution in the ABJM model into that in the D2-brane world volume theory, where the winding number of the former around the fixed point of the orbifold becomes the number of strings ending on the D2-brane in the latter.
