The Eleven-Dimensional Uplift of Four-Dimensional Supersymmetric RG Flow

Understand

The squashed and stretched 7-dimensional internal metric preserving U(1) x U(1) x U(1)_R symmetry possesses an Einstein-Kahler 2-fold which is a base manifold of 5-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein L^{p, q, r} space.

• The r(transverse to the domain wall)-dependence of the two 4-dimensional supergravity fields, that play the role of geometric parameters for squashing and stretching, makes the 11-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations consistent not only at the two critical points but also along the whole N=2 supersymmetric RG flow connecting them.
• The Ricci tensor of the solution has common feature with the previous three 11-dimensional solutions.
• The 4-forms preserve only U(1)_R symmetry for other generic parameters of the metric.
