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.

Gauge symmetry and supersymmetry of multiple M2-branes
Jonathan Bagger,Neil Lambert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a supersymmetric field theory model for multiple M2-branes based on an algebra with a totally antisymmetric triple product is proposed. But the field is not dynamical.
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
Non-Fermi liquids from holography
TL;DR: In this article, a new class of non-Fermi liquids in (2+1)-dimensions were identified via the response functions of composite fermionic operators in a class of strongly interacting quantum field theories at finite density, computed using the AdS/CFT correspondence.
Journal ArticleDOI
From weak to strong coupling in ABJM theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the planar free energy of ABJM theory matches the classical IIA supergravity action on a zero-dimensional super-matrix model and gives the correct N 3/2 scaling for the number of degrees of freedom of M2 brane theory.

Modeling multiple M2-branes
Jonathan Bagger,Neil Lambert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the world volume theory that describes $N$ coincident M2-branes ending on an M5-brane and show how a Basu-Harvey fuzzy funnel arises as the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a kappa-symmetric world volume action for all type II Dirichlet pbranes, 0≤p≤9, in a general type II supergravity background, including massive backgrounds in the IIA case, is presented.

Superconformal Chern-Simons theories
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian description of a maximally supersymmetric conformal field theory in three dimensions was constructed recently by Bagger and Lambert (BL), which has SO(4) gauge symmetry and contains scalar and spinor fields that transform as 4-vectors.

N = 8 Superconformal Chern--Simons Theories
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibilities for constructing Lagrangian descriptions of three-dimensional superconformal classical gauge theories that contain a Chern-Simons term, but no kinetic term, for the gauge fields are explored.
