A Note on the Partition Function of ABJM theory on S^3

Published 2011-10-17, updated 2012-01-10Version 3

We study the partition function Z of U(N)_k x U(N)_{-k} Chern-Simons matter theory (ABJM theory) on S^3 which is recently obtained by the localization method. We evaluate the eigenvalue integral in Z exactly for the N=2 case. We find that Z has a different dependence on k for even k and odd k. We comment on the possible implication of this result in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence.
