Abstract

We study marginal deformations of superconformal Chern–Simons matter theories that are based on 3-algebras. For this, we introduce the notion of an associated 3-product, which captures very general gauge invariant deformations of the superpotentials of the BLG and ABJM models. We also consider conformal multi-trace deformations preserving N = 2 supersymmetry. We then use N = 2 supergraph techniques to compute the two-loop beta functions of these deformations. Besides confirming conformal invariance of both the BLG and ABJM models, we also verify that the recently proposed β-deformations of the ABJM model are indeed marginal to the order we are considering.
