Abstract
We propose a supersymmetric model that defines M-theory. It possesses SO(1, 10) super Poincare symmetry and is constructed based on the Lorentzian 3-algebra associated with U(N) Lie algebra. This model is a supersymmetric generalization of the model in arXiv:0902.1333. From our model, we derive BFSS matrix theory and IIB matrix model in the naive large N limit by taking appropriate BPS vacua.
