Description
The boundary conditions of a circle compactification of N=4 Super
Yang-Mills theory can be twisted by S-duality. Combined with an R-symmetry
twist, this gives a construction with N=6 supersymmetry in
three-dimensions. The low-energy limit of this compactification encodes
some potentially useful information about the S-duality operator. In the
talk, the ground states of this theory will be studied using string
dualities.
