{{string theory}}

In theoretical physics, ABJM theory is a quantum field theory studied by Ofer Aharony, Oren Bergman, Daniel Jafferis, and Juan Maldacena. It provides a holographic dual to M-theory on AdS_4\times S^7. The ABJM theory is also closely related to Chern–Simons theory, and it serves as a useful toy model for solving problems that arise in condensed matter physics.Aharony et al. 2008 It is a theory defined on d = 3, \mathcal{N} = 6 superspace.
