In addition to the N = 3 case, we construct lower supersymmetric N = 1 and N = 2 inhomogeneously mass-deformed ABJM (ImABJM) models, which require three and two arbitrary mass-functions, respectively. We also construct general vacuum solutions of the N = 3 ImABJM model for any periodic mass-function. There are two classes of vacua, which are diagonal type and GRVV type according to reference value of mass-functions. We provide explicit examples of the vacuum solutions and discuss related operators.

Introduction

The low energy behavior of N M2-branes on Zk -orbifold is described by the N = 6 ABJM theory with Uk (N ) × U−k (N ) gauge group at level k [1]. Due to the non-dynamical nature of the Chern-Simons gauge fields, an interesting extension is realized by use of a supersymmetry-preserving mass deformation, which gives rise to the mass-deformed ABJM (mABJM) theory [2, 3]. The mass parameter is originated from the self-dual constant 4form field strength accompanied by the Wess-Zumino type coupling with M2 branes [4, 5] in the 11-dimensional supergravity. Gravity dual of the mABJM theory is identified as the LLM geometry [6] with Zk orbifold. It also turns out that the 4-form field strength with one spatial coordinate dependence allows an N = 3 supersymmetry maximally. Accordingly, the ABJM theory with spatially dependent mass-function was constructed [7]. We will call such a theory the inhomogeneously mass-deformed ABJM (ImABJM) model in what follows. The spatially varying mass-function m = m(x) whose functional form is arbitrary breaks a half supersymmetry of the original
