N=1SUSY backgrounds with anAdSfactor from non-AbelianTduality

Abstract

Abstract:We consider the action of a non-abelian T-duality on backgrounds with an AdS 5 factor in type IIA supergravity, finding a new type IIB background, as well as the non-abelian T-dual of a domain wall solution which has as limits the non-abelian T-dual of AdS 5 × T 1,1 and the non-abelian T-dual of AdS 3 × R 2 × S 2 × S 3 . We explore some consequences of non-abelian T-duality for the dual conformal field theories.

Field theory aspects of non-Abelian T-duality and N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ =2 linear quivers

“…This would provide a holographic description of the low-energy confining (or conformal) phase that appears by deforming some of the CFTs above. The 'geometric' side of the work was done in some of the papers in [8][9][10][11][12][13][24][25][26][27][28]. The present work gives tools to complement that study with a more precise QFT description.…”

BMN vacua, superstars and non-abelian T-duality

“…• The use of non-Abelian T-duality as a solution generating technique resulted in new backgrounds that in some cases avoid previously studied classifications [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

Mesons from (non) Abelian T-dual backgrounds

“…The holographic approach to the problem also allowed to resolve some questions regarding global aspects, range of coordinates, etc. Many papers have discussed applications of non-Abelian T-duality to holography [28][29][30][31][32][33]- [44][45][46][47][48][49], where both physical and geometrical aspects of the duality were analyzed.…”

“…For example, Baryon vertex, Giant Gravitons, couplings defined by probe branes, etc. In a variety of papers dealing with the interplay between non-Abelian duality and holography [23]- [44][45][46][47][48][49], it was seen that for each observable in the seed field theory, there was some probe brane in the nonAbelian T dual background that could play the role of such observable in the corresponding field theory. We suggest that aside from identifying the putative probe, its fluctuations should be studied following the formalism and ideas in this paper.…”
