Test of gauged N=8 SUGRA / N=1 SYM duality at sub-leading order

Abstract

An infra-red fixed point of $\mathcal{N}=1$ super-Yang-Mills theory is believed to be dual to a solution of five-dimensional gauged $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity. We test this conjecture at next to leading order in the large $N$ expansion by computing bulk one-loop corrections to the anomaly coefficient $a-c$. The one-loop corrections are non-zero for all values of the bulk mass, and not just special ones as claimed in previous work.
