Studies of the ABJM theory in a formulation with manifest SU(4) R-symmetry
We examine the three-dimensional N = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory with U(N) × U(N) gauge symmetry, which was recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis, and Maldacena (ABJM). Using a formulation with manifest SU(4) R-symmetry and no auxiliary fields, we verify in complete detail both...

| description | We examine the three-dimensional N = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory with U(N) × U(N) gauge symmetry, which was recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis, and Maldacena (ABJM). Using a formulation with manifest SU(4) R-symmetry and no auxiliary fields, we verify in complete detail both the Poincaré supersymmetry and the conformal supersymmetry of the action. Together, these imply the complete OSp(6|4) superconformal symmetry of the theory. The potential, which is sixth order in scalar fields, is recast as a sum of squares. © 2008 SISSA. |
