Five-dimensional SYM from undeformed ABJM

We expand undeformed ABJM theory around the vacuum solution that was found in arxiv:0909.3101. This solution can be interpreted as a circle-bundle over a two-dimensional plane with a singularity at the origin. By imposing periodic boundary conditions locally far away from the singularity, we obtain a local fuzzy two-torus over which we have a circle fibration. By performing fluctuation analysis we obtain five-dimensional SYM with the precise value on the coupling constant that we would obtain by compactifying multiple M5 branes on the vacuum three-manifold. In the resulting SYM theory we also find a coupling to a background two-form.
