Observables in the Guarino-Jafferis-Varela/CS-SYM duality

A bstract We study various semiclassical observables in the duality proposed by Guarino, Jafferis and Varela, between a warped AdS 4 × squashed S 6 gravitational solution and a 3 dimensional N = 2 S Y M − C S k conformal gauge theory, deformed from the maximal SU( N ) N = 8 S Y M . Baryonverticescorrespondingtoparticle-likebraneshaveunusualbehaviour with N and k and present strong evidence for a certain level-rank duality. Wilson loops and the anomalous dimensions of operators of high spin scale like ( N/k ) 3/2 . The entanglement entropy behaves like in a usual CFT. Giant magnon operators obey the same law as in 4 dimensional N = 4 S Y M , and giant gravitons are also sub-determinant operators.
