Abstract: (arXiv)
We study higher order corrections to the radius/M2-brane charge of AdS_4 x S^7/Z_k. There are two sources of corrections: one from the orbifold singularity of C^4/Z_k, and the other from the discrete torsion associated with the homology 3-cycle H_3(S^7/Z_k,Z) = Z_k. We give a precise formula for the charge shift. These corrections are relevant, for example, at two loops in the AdS_4 x CP^3 sigma model, and therefore for the strong coupling test of the all loop Bethe ansatz.
