Global symmetries play an important role in classifying the spectrum of a gauge theory. In the context of the AdS/CFT duality, global baryon-like symmetries are specially interesting. In the gravity side, they correspond to vector ?elds in AdS arising from KK reduction of the SUGRA p-form potentials. We concentrate on the AdS4/CFT3 case, which presents very interesting characteristic features. Following arXiv:1004.2045, we review aspects of such symmetries, clarifying along the way some arguments inthat reference. As a byproduct, and in aslightlyunrelatedcontext,wealsostudyZminimization, focusingontheHVZtheory. 1.Introduction Over the last few years there has been considerable progress towards understanding the AdS4/CFT3duality1.Themaximallysupersymmetricexampleofthisdualitycorresponds totheAdS4×S7space.Thisspacearisesasthenear-horizonregionofthebackgroundsourced byastackofM2branesmovingin 4.Conversely,standarddecouplinglimitargumentsshow thatadualdescriptionisgivenbytheCFT3ontheworldvolumeoftheM2branes.Following ontheseminalworkin2,3,Aharony,Bergmanetal.henceforthABJMconstructedin4 what it is by now agreed to be the ?eld theory dual to N M2 branes probing the 4/ k singularity,ofwhichthemaximallySUS
