Abstract

We study the membrane scattering in the three-dimensional N=6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena and conjectured to be dual to M-theory on AdS4×S7/ZkAdS_4 \times S^7/Z_k. We compute the one-loop effective action up to the v4v^4 terms in the derivative expansion and find exact agreement with the results from the supergravity computations. In particular, our results imply that the v2v^2 term is not renormalized and tree-level exact.
