Abstract
We explore further our recent generalization of the superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten. We find and construct explicitly theories of enhanced or 6 supersymmetry, especially , and , theories. The theory coincides with the theory of Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena (ABJM). We argue that the theory with gauge group can be understood as an orientifolding of the ABJM model with gauge group. We briefly discuss the Type IIB brane construction of the theory and the geometry of the M-theory orbifold.
