History Glossary
v t e

In theoretical physics, ABJM theory is a quantum field theory studied by Ofer Aharony, Oren Bergman, Daniel Jafferis, and Juan Maldacena. It provides a holographic dual to M-theory on ${\displaystyle AdS_{4}\times S^{7}}$. The ABJM theory is also closely related to Chern–Simons theory, and it serves as a useful toy model for solving problems that arise in condensed matter physics.^[1] It is a theory defined on ${\displaystyle d=3,{\mathcal {N}}=6}$ superspace.
