Abstract
Supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric deformations of large N = 4 4 SCFT with superconformal symmetry D 12 1 α × D 12 1 α are explored in the gravity dual described by a ChernSimons N = 8 SO4 × SO4 ⋉ T12 gauged supergravity in three dimensions For α 0 the gauged supergravity describes an effective theory of the maximal supergravity in nine dimensions on AdS 3 × S 3 × S 3 with the parameter α being the ratio of the two S 3 radii We consider the scalar manifold of the supergravity theory of the form SO8 8/SO8 × SO8 and find a number of stable nonsupersymmetric AdS 3 critical points for some values of α These correspond to nonsupersymmetric IR fixed points of the UV N = 4 4 SCFT dual to the maximally supersymmetric critical point We study the associated RG flow solutions interpolating between these fixed points and the UV N = 4 4 SCFT Possible supersymmetric flows to nonconformal field theories and halfsupersymmetric domain walls within this gauged supergravity are also investigatedThis article is published under an open access license Please check the Copyright Information section for details of this license and what reuse is permitted If your intended use exceeds what is permitted by the license or if you are unable to locate the licence and reuse information please contact the Rights and Permissions team
