“…An alternative description of the parameters χ i comes from their oxidation to the five-dimensional supergravity obtained by reducing IIB string theory on S 5 . As noted in [16,17] (see also [23,25]) the χ i define non-trivial oneform deformations (Wilson loops) for the vector fields along S 1 η . For the N = 4 S-fold, this corresponds to turning on Wilson loops for the SU(2) × SU(2)-valued gauge fields breaking the symmetry down to its Cartan subgroup.…”

“…We construct our non-supersymmetric 2-parameter family of AdS 4 vacua of IIB string theory by uplifting the corresponding family of AdS 4 vacua of four-dimensional [SO(6) × SO(1, 1)] R 12 supergravity [17] using the truncation Ansatz of [18]. Our family of AdS 4 vacua depends on two "axionic" parameters χ 1 , χ 2 [17]. For generic values of χ 1,2 , the AdS 4 vacua are non-supersymmetric, whereas for χ 1 = −χ 2 , the AdS 4 vacua are N = 2 supersymmetric and belong to the family of vacua considered in [19].…”

“…The corresponding dual CFT is known as a J-fold CFT obtained by compactifying N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory on a circle with an SL(2, Z) twist [20]. Holography has recently proven powerful in studying supersymmetric AdS 4 vacua of these types and their supersymmetric deformations [15][16][17][18][19][21][22][23][24][25].…”

We provide the first holographic evidence for the existence of a non-supersymmetric conformal manifold arising from exactly marginal but supersymmetry-breaking deformations of a superconformal field theory. In particular, we construct a 2-parameter non-supersymmetric deformation of a supersymmetric AdS vacuum in Type IIB string theory. We prove that the non-supersymmetric vacua are perturbatively stable and also do not suffer from various non-perturbative instabilities. Finally, we argue that diffeomorphism symmetry protects our vacua against higher-derivative string corrections.

“…Type IIB supergravity admits a consistent truncation on S 5 × S 1 [16] down to D = 4 N = 8 supergravity with dyonic [SO(6) × SO(1, 1)] R 12 gauge group [23,24]. The D = 4 gauge couplings g and m ≡ gc are related to N and k. Due to the consistency of the truncation, the vacua of this gauged supergravity (all of which are AdS, see [23,[25][26][27][28][29] for examples) give rise to (non-geometric) AdS 4 × S 5 × S 1 solutions of type IIB, with the S 5 possibly fibred trivially over the S 1 . The above D = 4 N = 8 supergravity has an N = 4, SO(4)-invariant critical point [25] that uplifts to the N = 4 type IIB S-fold solution of [16].…”

A holographic duality was recently established between an $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 non-geometric AdS4 solution of type IIB supergravity in the so-called S-fold class, and a three- dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) defined as a limit of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 super-Yang-Mills at an interface. Using gauged supergravity, the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 conformal manifold (CM) of this CFT has been assessed to be two-dimensional. Here, we holographically characterise the large-N operator spectrum of the marginally-deformed CFT. We do this by, firstly, providing the algebraic structure of the complete Kaluza-Klein (KK) spectrum on the associated two-parameter family of AdS4 solutions. And, secondly, by computing the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 super-multiplet dimensions at the first few KK levels on a lattice in the CM, using new exceptional field theory techniques. Our KK analysis also allows us to establish that, at least at large N, this $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 CM is topologically a non-compact cylindrical Riemann surface bounded on only one side.

We describe three previously unnoticed components of the moduli space of minimally supersymmetric string theories in d ≥ 7, describing in some detail their spectrum and duality properties. We find a new component in nine and eight dimensions, and two additional ones in seven dimensions. These theories were originally discovered in a bottom-up classification of possible F/M-theory singularity freezing patterns in the K3 lattice, described in a companion paper. The 9d/8d component can be understood as F/M-theory on a twisted fibration of the Klein bottle over a circle, while the new seven-dimensional components are described as IIB on Bieberbach manifolds with a duality bundle and RR-NSNS backgrounds turned on. All the new components can be obtained from previously known theories by turning on certain discrete theta angles; however, the spectrum of massive objects is very different, and most strikingly, they feature an incomplete lattice of BPS strings, showing that string BPS completeness is not true in general even with sixteen supercharges. In all cases we find non-BPS representatives for each value of the charge, so the Completeness Principle is satisfied. We also analyze analogous theta angles in nonsupersymmetric string theories, and provide a detailed explanation of why the Type I discrete θ angle proposed in 1304.1551 is unphysical, using this to clarify certain non-perturbative phenomena in O8 planes.
