M-theory dual of a 3 dimensional theory with reduced supersymmetry
M-theory dual of a 3 dimensional theory with reduced supersymmetry
In a recent paper, Polchinski and Strassler found a string theory dual of a gauge theory with reduced supersymmetry. Motivated by their approach, we perturb the $\mathcal{N}=8$ theory residing on a set of N M2-branes to $\mathcal{N}=2,$ by adding fermion mass terms. We obtain M-theory duals corresponding to M2-branes polarized …
