A Note on the Partition Function of ABJM theory on S3
Abstract
We study the partition function Z of U(N)k x U(N)-k Chern-Simons matter theory (ABJM theory) on S3 which is recently obtained by the localization method. We evaluate the eigenvalue integral in Z exactly for the N=2 case. We find that Z has a different dependence on k for even k and odd k. We comment on the possible implication of this result in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence.
