In the presence of a background supergravity flux, N M2-branes will expand
via the Myers effect into M5-branes wrapped on a fuzzy three-sphere. In
previous work the fluctuations of the M2-branes were shown to be described by
the five-dimensional Yang-Mills gauge theory associated to D4-branes. We show
that the ABJM prescription for eleven-dimensional momentum in terms of magnetic
flux lifts to an instanton flux of the effective five-dimensional Yang-Mills
theory on the sphere, giving an M-theory interpretation for these instantons.Comment: 29 pages, Latex; v2: added references and a comment on the
