Deskripsi
Abstract We propose a new duality between two 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories: the U(3)1 × U(3)−1 ABJM theory and a theory consisting of the product between the (SU(2)3 × SU(2)− 3)/ℤ2 BLG theory and a free N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8 theory of eight real scalars and eight Majorana fermions. As evidence supporting this duality, we show that the moduli spaces, superconformal indices, S 3 partition functions, and certain OPE coefficients of BPS operators in the two theories agree.
