Dielectric-branes in nonsupersymmetricSO(3)-invariant perturbation of three-dimensionalN=8Yang-Mills theory

Abstract

We study non-supersymmetric SO(3)-invariant deformations of d = 3, N = 8 super Yang-Mills theory and their type IIA string theory dual. By adding both gaugino mass and scalar mass, dielectric D4-brane potential coincides with D5-brane potential in type IIB theory. We find the region of parameter space where the non-supersymmetric vacuum is described by stable dielectric NS5-branes. By considering the generalized action for NS5-branes in the presence of D4-flux, we also analyze the properties of dielectric NS5-branes.

Mass-deformed super Yang-Mills theories from M2-branes with flux

“…In the framework of AdS/CFT correspondence, (2 + 1)-dimensional mass-deformed SYM theories have been studied in Refs. [22,23,24,25]. Along the same line with the (3 + 1)-dimensional SYM theories [20], mass term for the fermionic fields was turned on in the (2 + 1)-dimensional field theory side and the corresponding background flux in type IIA supergravity was found.…”

“…Fuzzy two ellipsoid solution: From the equations (2.23), (4.38), and (4.39) we read the scalar potential of the N = 1 mass-deformed SYM theory (4.44): The same equation can also be derived by component field expansion of F -term equation in the N = 1 superfield formulation as well. A nontrival solution to this vacuum equation is the configuration of fuzzy two ellipsoid, which corresponds to D2-branes polarized into D4-branes [22,23,24,25]. The fuzzy two ellipsoid can be embedded in any three-dimensional transverse space with nonvanishing flux given by (4.46) and some constraints on the masses.…”

Noncommutative Branes in D-Brane Backgrounds

“…The effects are important in understanding the nature of non-abelian D-brane systems and have been studied in various contexts [1,5,6,7]. In particular, they play an important role [8,9,10,11,12] in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence [13].…”
