%X The actions, anomalies, and quantization conditions allow the M2-brane and the M5-brane to support, in a natural way, structures beyond Spin on their worldvolumes. The main examples are twisted String structures. This also extends to twisted String^c structures, which we introduce and relate to twisted String structures. The relation of the C-field to Chern-Simons theory suggests the use of the String cobordism category to describe the M2-brane.
