The Gauge Dual of A Warped Product of AdS_4 and A Squashed and Stretched Seven-Manifold

Ahn, Changhyun, Woo, Kyungsung

Understand

Corrado, Pilch and Warner in 2001 have found the second 11-dimensional solution where the deformed geometry of S^7 in the lift contains S^2 x S^2.

  • We identify the gauge dual of this background with the theory described by Franco, Klebanov and Rodriguez-Gomez recently.
  • It is the U(N) x U(N) x U(N) gauge theory with two SU(2) doublet chiral fields B_1 transforming in the (N, Nbar, 1), B_2 transforming in the (1, N, Nbar), C_1 in the (1, Nbar, N) and C_2 in the (Nbar, N, 1) as well as an adjoint field \Phi in the (1, adj, 1) representation.
  • By adding the mass term for adjoint field \Phi, the detailed correspondence between fields of AdS_4 supergravity and composite operators of the IR field theory is determined.
