AdS/CFT Duality and the Higgs Branch of N=2 SYM

Abstract

We construct the AdS description of the Higgs branch of the finite N=2 Sp(N) gauge theory with one antisymmetric hypermultiplet and four fundamental hypermultiplets. Holography, combined with the non-renormalization of the metric on the Higgs branch, leads to novel constraints on unknown terms in the non-abelian Dirac-Born-Infeld action. These terms include non-minimal couplings of D-branes to bulk supergravity fields.
