S-folds and holographic RG flows on the D3-brane

Abstract

Type IIB S-folds of the form ${\text{AdS}}_4\times {\text{S}}^1\times {\text{S}}^5$ are conjectured to correspond to new strongly coupled three-dimensional CFT's on a localised interface of ${\text{SYM}}_4$. In this work we construct holographic RG flows on the D3-brane that generically connect anisotropic deformations of ${\text{SYM}}_4$ in the UV to various S-fold $\text{CFT}$'s in the IR with different amounts of supersymmetry and flavour symmetries. Examples of holographic RG flows between \mbox{S-fold} CFT's are also presented. Lastly a geometric interpretation of axion deformations is provided in terms of monodromies on the internal ${\text{S}}^5$ when moving around the ${\text{S}}^1$. Special attention is paid to the monodromy-induced patterns of symmetry breaking as classified by the mapping torus $T_h({\text{S}}^5)$.
