History Glossary

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.^[1]
