    Open Spin Chains from Determinant Like Operators in ABJM Theory

    Full text link
    We study the mixing problem of the determinant like operators in ABJM theory to two loop order in the scalar sector. The gravity duals of these operators are open strings attached to the maximal giant graviton, which is a D4-brane wrapping a CP2\mathbb{CP}^2 inside CP3\mathbb{CP}^3 in our case. The anomalous dimension matrix of these operators can be regarded as an open spin chain Hamiltonian. We provide strong evidence of its integrability based on coordinate Bethe ansatz method and boundary Yang-Baxter equation.Comment: 11 pages, no figures; v2, typos corrected, references added, 11 pages, no figures; v3 typos fixed, 11 pages, no figure
