N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories, M2-branes and their gravity duals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed three dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theories with gauge groups U(N) × U(n) and SU(N), SU(2) × SU (2) which have explicit = 6 superconformal symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractional M2-branes
TL;DR: In this article, two generalizations of the = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories with gauge group U(n) × U(N) have been considered, and they are conjectured to describe M−N| fractional M2-branes localized at the orbifold singularity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The exact superconformal R-symmetry extremizes Z
TL;DR: In this paper, the three sphere partition function of three dimensional theories with four supercharges and an R-symmetry is computed using localization, resulting in a matrix integral over the Cartan of the gauge group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards the F-Theorem: N=2 Field Theories on the Three-Sphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the free energy of Euclidean path integrals on the 3-sphere of 3-dimensional field theories with N = 2 supersymmetry was calculated using the method of localization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative entropy equals bulk relative entropy
TL;DR: In this paper, the gravity dual of the modular Hamiltonian associated to a general subregion of a boundary theory is used to argue that the relative entropy of nearby states is given by relative entropy in the bulk, to leading order in a bulk gravitational coupling.
