Abstract

We extend the Script N = 4 superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten to those with additional twisted hyper-multiplets. The new theories are generically linear quiver gauge theories with the two types of hyper-multiplets alternating between gauge groups. Our construction includes the Bagger-Lambert model of SO(4) gauge group. A family of abelian theories are identified with those proposed earlier in the context of the M-crystal model for M2-branes probing (Bbb C2/Bbb Zn)2 orbifolds. Possible extension with non-abelian BF couplings and string/M-theory realization are briefly discussed.
