Holographic, N=1 Supersymmetric RG Flows on M2 Branes

Understand

We find a family of holographic N=1 supersymmetric RG flows on M2 branes.

• These flows are driven by two mass parameters from the maximally (N=8) supersymmetric theory and the infra-red theory is controlled by two fixed points, one with G_2 symmetry and the other with SU(3)xU(1) symmetry and N=2 supersymmetry.
• The generic flow, with unequal mass parameters, is N=1 supersymmetric but goes to the SU(3)xU(1) symmetric, N=2 supersymmetric fixed point, where the masses are equal.
• The only flow that goes to the G_2 symmetric point occurs when one of the mass parameters is set to zero.
