Squashing Gravity Dual of N=6 Superconformal Chern-Simons Gauge Theory
Abstract
Four-dimensional field equations are determined for perturbations of the quotient seven-sphere size and squashing parameter in eleven-dimensional supergravity. The quotient seven-sphere is a S1-bundle over the CP3 which is regarded as a S2-fibration over the base S4. By analyzing the AdS4 supergravity scalar potential, the holographic supersymmetric(or nonsupersymmetric) renormalization group(RG) flow from N=1(or N=0) SO(5) x U(1)-invariant UV fixed point to N=6(or N=0) SU(4)R x U(1)-invariant IR fixed point is obtained. The three-dimensional boundary theories are described by superconformal Chern-Simons matter theories and a dual operator corresponding to this RG flow is described.
