Abstract

We derive five-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory from mass-deformed ABJM theory by expanding about S2S^2 for large Chern-Simons level KK. We obtain the Yang-Mills coupling constant gYM2=4π2R/Kg_{YM}^2 = 4\pi^2 R/K. If we consider S3/\mbZKS^3/{\mb{Z}_K} as a fiber bundle over S2S^2 then R/KR/K is the circumference of the fiber. The value on the coupling constant agrees with what one gets by compactifying M five-brane on that fiber. For this computation we take R,KR,K\to \infty while keeping R/KR/K at a fixed finite value. We also study mass deformed star-three-product BLG theory at K=1 and RR\to \infty. In that limit we obtain Lorentz covariant supersymmetry variations and gauge variations of a non-Abelian tensor multiplet.
