ABJM superconformal field theory

The ABJM superconformal field theory is a quantum field theory studied by Ofer Aharony, Oren Bergman, Daniel Jafferis and Juan Maldacena. 

This particular CFT is a holographic dual to M-theory in AdS with 4 extended and 7 compact dimensions. 

The theory is closely related to Chern-Simons theory, a 3-dimensional topological quantum field theory. 

The ABJM superconformal field theory also provides a useful toy model for solving problems in condensed matter physics.
