Description/Abstract

We construct a four dimensional Yang-Mills theory with {\cal N}=4 twisted supersymmetry whose classical vacua correspond to four dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The theory utilizes a complex gauge field whose real part is a spin connection which is used to enforce local Lorentz invariance. The imaginary part of the connection can then be interpreted as a vierbein. The topological construction ensures that the partition function and classical vacua are independent of the background geometry. Additionally a supersymmetric and gauge invariant lattice construction is possible yielding a non-perturbative definition of the theory.
