The dual superconformal theory for L p , q , r manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the superconformal gauge theory living on the world-volume of D3 branes probing the toric singularities with horizon the recently discovered Sasaki-Einstein manifolds L. Various checks of the identification are made by comparing the central charge and the R-charges of the chiral fields with the information that can be extracted from toric geometry. Fractional branes are also introduced and the physics of the associated duality cascade discussed. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

hep-th/0505259 Scalar Laplacian on Sasaki-Einstein Manifolds Y p,q
We study the spectrum of the scalar Laplacian on the five-dimensional toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds Y . The eigenvalue equation reduces to Heun’s equation, which is a Fuchsian equation with four regular singularities. We show that the ground states, which are given by constant solutions of Heun’s equation, are identified with BPS states corresponding to the chiral primary operators in the dua...

متن کاملToric Geometry, Sasaki–Einstein Manifolds and a New Infinite Class of AdS/CFT Duals
Recently an infinite family of explicit Sasaki–Einstein metrics Y p,q on S2 × S3 has been discovered, where p and q are two coprime positive integers, with q < p. These give rise to a corresponding family of Calabi–Yau cones, which moreover are toric. Aided by several recent results in toric geometry, we show that these are Kähler quotients C4//U(1), namely the vacua of gauged linear sigma mode...
متن کاملBaryonic branches and resolutions of Ricci-flat Kähler cones
We consider deformations of N = 1 superconformal field theories that are AdS/CFT dual to Type IIB string theory on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, characterised by non-zero vacuum expectation values for certain baryonic operators. Such baryonic branches are constructed from (partially) resolved, asymptotically conical Ricci-flat Kähler manifolds, together with a choice of point where the stack of D3...
متن کاملCurrent Correlators and AdS/CFT Geometry
We consider current-current correlators in 4d N = 1 SCFTs, and also 3d N = 2 SCFTs, in connection with AdS/CFT geometry. The superconformal U(1)R symmetry of the SCFT has the distinguishing property that, among all possibilities, it minimizes the coefficient, τRR of its two-point function. We show that the geometric Z-minimization condition of Martelli, Sparks, and Yau precisely implements τRR ...
