This provides a general framework that reproduces many recent results on multiple membrane actions as well as generalisations thereof. As examples we discuss conformal (non-conformal) gaugings leading to multiple M2-branes (D2-branes) and massive deformations of these systems.22 pages, v2: minor changes, reference added, v3: version to appear in JHEPHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
