High Energy Theory Seminar: Holography and symmetries of supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories
Oren Bergman (Israel Institute of Technology)
I will derive the symmetry theories of the 3d N=6 and N=5 supersymmetric Chern-Simons-Matter theories from holography.
Focusing on a specific variant of the N=5 theory that has a non-abelian global symmetry, I will explain how the structure of this symmetry arises from brane dynamics.
