Warped in Type IIB supergravity III: Global solutions with seven-branes

arXiv:1706.00433 · doi:10.1007/JHEP11(2017)200

Abstract

We extend our previous construction of global solutions to Type IIB supergravity that are invariant under the superalgebra and are realized on a spacetime of the form warped over a Riemann surface by allowing the supergravity fields to have non-trivial monodromy at isolated punctures on . We obtain explicit solutions for the case where is a disc, and the monodromy generators are parabolic elements of physically corresponding to the monodromy allowed in Type IIB string theory. On the boundary of the solutions exhibit singularities at isolated points which correspond to semi-infinite five-branes, as is familiar from the global solutions without monodromy. In the interior of , the solutions are everywhere regular, except at the punctures where monodromy resides and which physically correspond to the locations of seven-branes. The solutions have a compelling physical interpretation corresponding to fully localized five-brane intersections with additional seven-branes, and provide candidate holographic duals to the five-dimensional superconformal field theories realized on such intersections.
