Abstract

We propose 4 and 12 supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories on R×CP2\mathrm{R\times CP^2} obtained by twisted Zk\mathrm{Z}_k moddings and dimensional reduction of the 6d (2,0) superconformal field theories on R×S5\mathrm{R\times S^5}. These theories have a discrete coupling constant 1gYM2=k4π2\frac{1}{g^2_{YM}} =\frac{k}{4\pi^2} so that instantons represent the Kaluza-Klein modes correctly. We calculate the perturbative part of the SU(N) gauge group Euclidean path integral for the index function and confirm it with the known half-BPS index. The scalar and fermionic fields have the conformal dimension prescribed by the 6d theory. From the similar twisted ZkZ_k modding of the AdS7×S4\mathrm{AdS_7\times S^4} geometry, we speculate that the MM region is for kN1/3k\lesssim N^{1/3} and the type IIA region is N1/3kNN^{1/3}\lesssim k \lesssim N. When nonperturbative corrections are included, our theory is expected to produce the full index of the 6d (2,0) theory.
