Supersymmetric solutions on SU(4)-structure deformed Stenzel space

Abstract

The Stenzel space fourfold is a non-compact Calabi-Yau which is a higher dimensional analogue of the deformed conifold. We consider N = (1,1) type IIA, N = 1 M-theory and N = (2,0) type IIB compactifications on this Stenzel space, thus examining the gravity side of potentially higher dimensional analogues of Klebanov-Strassler-like compactifications. We construct families of SU(4)-structures and solve associated moduli spaces, of complex and symplectic structures amongst others. By making use of these, we can construct IIA compactifications on manifolds homeomorphic to the Stenzel space fourfold, but with complex non-CY SU(4)-structures. Such compactifications are sourced by a distribution of NS5-branes. The external metric is asymptotically conformal AdS_3 and should thus be suitable for holography applications.
