Description

I will talk about defect renormalization group flows recently found in ABJM theory. In such a setting, we find RG flow trajectories that may or may not preserve some subset of the original N=6 supersymmetry. The beta-functions have a large spectrum of fixed points representing superconformal defects that provide a rich arena to study quantum effects in 2+1 dimensional theories. This sheds new light on universal information about ABJM, such as the Bremsstrahlung function, and possibly on the holographic dual setting of strings in AdS4xCP3.
