Wrapped branes with fluxes in 8d gauged supergravity

We study the gravity dual of several wrapped D–brane configurations in presence of 4-form RR fluxes partially piercing the unwrapped directions. We present a systematic approach to obtain these solutions from those without fluxes. We use D=8 gauged supergravity as a starting point to build up these solutions. The configurations include (smeared) M2–branes at the tip of a G2 cone on S 3 × S, D2–D6 branes with the latter wrapping a special Lagrangian 3-cycle of the complex deformed conifold and an holomorphic sphere in its cotangent bundle T ∗S2, D3–branes at the tip of the generalized resolved conifold, and others obtained by means of T duality and KK reduction. We elaborate on the corresponding N = 1 and N = 2 field theories in 2 + 1 dimensions. US-FT-2/02 July 2002 hep-th/0207127 [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
