We elaborate on the suggestion made in arXiv:0806.3498 that the 3dsuperconformalChern-Simons-matter theory of “Lorentzian” Bagger-Lambert-Gustavson type (L-BLG) can be obtained by a scaling limit (involving sending the levelto infinity and redefining the fields) from thesuperconformalChern-Simons-matter theory of Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis, and Maldacena (ABJM). We show that to implement such limit in a consistent way one is to extend the ABJM theory by an Abelian “ghost” multiplet. The corresponding limit at the 3-algebra level also requires extending the nonantisymmetric Bagger-Lambert 3-algebra underlying the ABJM theory by a negative-norm generator. We draw analogy with similar scaling limits discussed previously for bosonic Chern-Simons theory and comment on some implications of this relation between the ABJM and L-BLG theories.
