Wrapped M5-branes, consistent truncations and AdS/CMT
Abstract
At the level of the bosonic fields, we construct consistent Kaluza--Klein reductions of D=11 supergravity on 3× S4, where 3=H3/,S3/ or R3/ where is a discrete group of isometries. The result is the bosonic content of an N=2 D=4 gauged supergravity with a single vector multiplet and two hypermultiplets, whose scalar fields parametrise SU(1,1)/U(1)× G2(2)/SO(4). %, and the gauging is only in the hypermultiplet When 3=H3/ the D=4 theory has an AdS4 vacuum which uplifts to the known supersymmetric AdS4× H3/× S4 solution of D=11 supergravity that describes the N=2 d=3 SCFT arising when M5-branes wrap SLag 3-cycles H3/ in Calabi-Yau three-folds. We use the KK reduction for 3=H3/ to construct D=11 black hole solutions that describe these d=3 SCFTs at finite temperature and charge density and show that there is a superconducting instability involving a charged scalar field, and another instability involving involving neutral fields including both scalar and vector fields. We also use this KK reduction to construct a D=11 Lifshitz solution that is dual to a d=3 field theory with dynamical exponent z 39.
