Generalized symmetries and holography in ABJM-type theories

Abstract

Abstract We revisit the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories and their supergravity duals in the context of generalized symmetries. This allows us to finally clarify how the SU(N ) × SU(N ) and (SU(N ) × SU(N ))/ℤ N theories, as well as other quotient theories that have recently been discussed, fit into the holographic framework. It also resolves a long standing puzzle regarding the di-baryon operator in the U(N ) × U(N ) theory.
