Abstract: In this paper we fill a necessary gap in order to realize the explicit comparison between the Kaluza Klein spectra of supergravity compactified on AdS_4 x X^7 and superconformal field theories living on the world volume of M2-branes. On the algebraic side we consider the superalgebra Osp(N|4) and we study the double interpretation of its irreducible representations either as supermultiplets of particle states in the bulk or as conformal superfields on the boundary. On the lagrangian field theory side we construct, using rheonomy rather than superfield techniques, the generic form of an N=2, d=3 gauge theory. Indeed the superconformal multiplets are supposed to be composite operators in a suitable gauge theory.

Review text

By the present paper the authors fill a gap in order to realize an explicit comparison between the Kaluza-Klein spectra of supergravity compactified on \(AdS_4 \times X^7\) and superconformal field theories living on the worldvolume of M2-branes. The research is performed on the following two issues. (a) The relation between the description of unitary irreducible representations of Osp\((2\mid 4)\) superalgebra seen as off-shell conformal superfields in \(d=3\) or as on-shell particle supermultiplets in \(d=4\) anti-de Sitter space. (b) The generic component form of an \(N=2\) gauge theory in three spacetime dimensions containing the supermultiplet of an arbitrary gauge group, an arbitrary number of scalar multiplets in arbitrary representations of the gauge group and with generic superpotential interactions. An important role in the present research work is played by the homogeneous Sasakian 7-manifolds which have been classified in the 1980's.
