Abstract
We study orbifold group actions on locally defined fields upon M-theory bra nes in a three-form C-fields background. We derive some constraints from th e consistency of the orbifold group actions. We show the possibility of the existence of M-theory discrete torsion for the fields on the worldvolume a nd discuss its features. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BN. All rights reserved.
