We deform the recently proposed holographic duality between the ABJM $ \mathcal{N} = 6 $ Chern-Simons-matter theory and type IIA string theory in $ {\text{Ad}}{{\text{s}}_4} \times {\mathbb{CP}^3} $. We add a non-zero Romans mass F0, whose dual we identify as the sum of the Chern-Simons levels for the two gauge groups. One can naturally identify four different theories, with different amounts of supersymmetry and of flavor symmetry.

Localization techniques in quantum field theories (2016, methodology): “If the theory has a low-energy description as a NLSM with target a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact complex manifold, as in the models in [92], the elliptic genus encodes the Euler characteristic of that vector bundle [93].”
A universal counting of black hole microstates in AdS4 (2017, unknown): “We recall that for a U(N) gauge theory, where each factor has the same Chern-Simons level k, the parameter n is related to the ChernSimons levels by n = Gk [66].”
ABJM with Flavors and FQHE (2009, background): “As shown in [3, 20], it shifts the level of one of the gauge groups: U(N)k × U(N)−k changes into U(N)k+l ×U(N)−k.”
ABJM theory as a Fermi gas (2011, methodology): “Finally, we consider the massive theories of [52] and we derive the N behavior found in [53, 14] with our techniques.”

Fractional quantum Hall effect via holography: Chern-Simons, edge states and hierarchy (2009, unknown): “Note Added: We noticed that the paper [61], which appeared in the arXiv on the same day, has a partial overlap with this paper in the interpretation of D8-brane charge in the AdS4×CP 3 background as the shift of the total level in the N = 6 Chern-Simons theory.”
Towards the F-theorem: $ \mathcal{N} = 2 $ field theories on the three-sphere (2011, background): “Theories with k 6= 0 have dual descriptions in massive type IIA theory [48, 49].”
The large N limit of quiver matrix models and Sasaki-Einstein manifolds (2011, background): “5), which leads to theories that are conjecturally dual to massive Type IIA string theory backgrounds [33].”
