Abstract

We provide evidences for the duality between N=6{\cal N}=6 U(M)4×U(N)4U(M)_{4} \times U(N)_{-4} Chern-Simons matter theory and N=5{\cal N}=5 O(M^)2×USp(2N^)1O(\hat{M})_{2} \times USp(2\hat{N})_{-1} theory for a suitable M^,N^\hat{M},\hat{N} by working out the superconformal index, which shows perfect matching. For N=5{\cal N}=5 theories, we show that supersymmetry is enhanced to N=6{\cal N}=6 by explicitly constructing monopole operators filling in SO(6)RSO(6)_R RR-currents. Finally we work out the large NN index of O(2N)2k×USp(2N)kO(2N)_{2k} \times USp(2N)_{-k} and show that it exactly matches with the gravity index on AdS4×S7/DkAdS_4 \times S^7/D_k, which further provides additional evidence for the duality between the N=5{\cal N}=5 and N=6{\cal N}=6 theory for k=1k=1
