Self-consistency of Conformally Coupled ABJM Theory at the Quantum Level
arXiv:1709.08532 · doi:10.1007/JHEP11(2017)153
Abstract
We study the superconformal Chern-Simons matter field theory (the ABJM theory) conformally coupled to a Lorentzian, curved background spacetime. To support rigid supersymmetry, such backgrounds have to admit twistor spinors. At the classical level, the symmetry of the theory can be described by a conformal symmetry superalgebra. We show that the full superconformal algebra persists at the quantum level using the BV-BRST method.
