Abstract

In this paper, we study the action of the nonplanar two-loop dilatation operator in an SU(2)×SU(2) subsector of the ABJ Chern–Simons-matter theory. The gauge invariant operators we consider are the restricted Schur polynomials. As in ABJM theory, there is a limit in which the spectrum reduces to a set of decoupled harmonic oscillators, indicating integrability in the large M and N double limit of the theory. We then consider parity transformations on the gauge invariant operators. In this case the nonplanar anomalous dimensions break parity invariance. Our analysis shows that (M-N) is related to the holonomy in the string theory, confirming one of the main features of the theory and its string dual. Furthermore, in the limit where ABJ theory reduces to ABJM theory, parity invariance is restored.
