Holographic Tests of the Ensemble

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden

We study in detail a recent proposal stating that M-theory observables arising from the quantisation of M2-branes are naturally computed in a fixed ensemble. In a holographic…

Localisation of the M2-brane

Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden

We study quantum M2-branes in holographic backgrounds and show that their moduli spaces of zero-modes are localised according to an R-symmetry Killing vector. We discuss the relati…

The Conformal Manifold of S-folds in String Theory

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden

We continue the holographic exploration of the conformal manifold of 3d S-fold SCFTs constructed by gauging the flavor symmetry of the Gaiotto-Witten theo…

Holographic 3d Conformal Manifolds

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden

We construct and study several examples of continuous families of AdS solutions of four-dimensional maximal gauged supergravity. These backgrounds provide the…

The Holographic Conformal Manifold of 3d -fold SCFTs

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden

We employ a non-compact gauging of four-dimensional maximal supergravity to construct a two-parameter family of AdS J-fold solutions preserving supersymmetry. A…

Kaluza-Klein Spectroscopy for the Leigh-Strassler SCFT

Nikolay Bobev, Emanuel Malek, Brandon Robinson +2

We apply recently developed tools from exceptional field theory to calculate the full Kaluza-Klein spectrum of the AdS Pilch-Warner solution of type IIB supergravity. Through t…

Holographic Interfaces in N=4 SYM: Janus and J-folds

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Krzysztof Pilch +2

We find the holographic dual to the three classes of superconformal Janus interfaces in SYM that preserve three-dimensional , , and $\…

Janus and J-fold Solutions from Sasaki-Einstein Manifolds

Nikolay Bobev, Friðrik Freyr Gautason, Krzysztof Pilch +2

We show that for every Sasaki-Einstein manifold, , the AdS background of type IIB supergravity admits two universal deformations leading to supersymmetric AdS$_4…

A Holographic Kaleidoscope for

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Benjamin E. Niehoff +1

We study in detail the recently-found family of asymptotically AdS type IIB supergravity solutions dual to the SYM theory with equal masses. The bac…

Uplifting GPPZ: A Ten-dimensional Dual of

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Benjamin E. Niehoff +1

We find a new supersymmetric solution of type IIB supergravity which is the uplift of the GPPZ solution of maximal SO gauged supergravity in five dimensions. This background i…

Precision Holography for on from type IIB Supergravity

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden

We find a new supersymmetric solution of type IIB supergravity which is holographically dual to the planar limit of the four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills…
