Partially supersymmetric ABJM theory with flux
Abstract
Starting with generic Wess-Zumino type coupling to constant four-form and the dual seven-form field strengths in the ABJM theory, we obtain mass-deformed theories with {N} = 2, 4 supersymmetries. These theories contain massless scalar fields and allow the implementation of the Mukhi-Papageorgakis Higgsing procedure. Using this procedure, we connect the Higgsed theories to three-dimensional mass-deformed SYM theories. These are also connected by the four-dimensional {N} = 1*, 2* mass-deformed SYM theories through dimensional reduction. We classify the three-dimensional mass-deformed SYM theories of {N} =1,2,4 supersymmetry,of which a few cases of {N} =1,2 are connected neither by MP Higgsing procedure nor dimensional reduction.
