Description
I will describe the construction of the complete Green-Schwarz superstring action for a string in AdS4xCP3 and discuss issues of kappa-symmetry fixing and the relation to the sigma model based on a supercoset. Strings in this background are of interest since they have been conjectured to give a holographic dual description of a three-dimensional N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena.
