Spin Chains in \\(\\mathcal{N}\\)=6 Superconformal Chern-Simons-Matter Theory

Abstract

In this note we study spin chain operators in the \\(\\mathcal{N}\\)=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory recently proposed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena to be dual to type IIA string theory in \\(AdS_4\\) x \\(\\mathbb{CP}^3\\). We study the two-loop dilatation operator in the gauge theory, and compare to the Penrose limit on the string theory side.
