Use of ABJM?
Forget importance of M-theory.
Is BLG / ABJM useful for any other purpose?
Ans: Surely it is very useful, for non-Abelian duliaty
Let’s remind Abelian duality for elemag system

Summary : importance
Torus compactification of M2 transverse space is realized.
Orbifolded ABJM + 2 vevs, with a new scaling limit
Infinitely many 4d YM are derived.
New geometric interpretation of quiver diagrams
4d YM on N D3s is derived from 3d ABJM.
Deconstruction (T-duality) with theta term
Montonen-Olive duality is proven?
No. Our S is a parity, due to our special values of .
However, field theory realization of T transf. is nontrivial
We got half the way to the goal.

M-theory interpretation
2 vevs
2 1-cycles specified by vectors
Torus modurus
Due to M-IIB duality, this should become axio-dilaton.
Our field theory result is identical with this
