Abstract
We study the supersymmetry enhancement of ABJM theory. Starting from a supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theory with gauge group U(2)U(2) which is a truncated version of the ABJM theory, we find by using the monopole operator that there is additional supersymmetry related to the gauge group. We show this additional supersymmetry can combine with supersymmetry of the original ABJM theory to an enhanced SUSY with gauge group U(2)U(2) in the case . We also discuss the supersymmetry enhancement of the ABJM theory with U()U() gauge group and find a condition which should be satisfied by the monopole operator.
