Looking for a Matrix model of ABJM

Understand

Encouraged by the recent construction of fuzzy sphere solutions in the ABJM theory, we re-analyze the latter from the perspective of a Matrix-like model.

• In particular, we argue that a vortex solution exhibits properties of a supergraviton, while a kink represents a 2-brane.
• Other solutions are also consistent with the Matrix-type interpretation.
• We study vortex scattering and compare with graviton scattering in the massive ABJM background, however our results are inconclusive.
