Scaling similarity and generalised conformal symmetry in D2-brane holography

Andrea Conti, Adolfo Guarino, Ricardo Stuardo

We study D2-brane holography within the purely dilatonic sector of four-dimensional maximal ISO(7)-gauged supergravity, obtained as a consistent truncation of type IIA supergravity…

Moduli space of Super Yang-Mills from AdS/CFT

Andrés Anabalón, Horatiu Nastase, Carlos Nunez +2

We study super Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle at zero temperature, with VEVs for two scalar bilinears and three independent current sources. We show that t…

A Master Superspace Action for 3D S-Duality

Adi Armoni, Ricardo Stuardo, Mark Thomas

We formulate a `master' partition function in three-dimensional superspace that realises, upon integrating out complementary superfields, both the electric Maxwell-…

Monodromy Defects in Maximally Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories from Holography

Andrea Conti, Ricardo Stuardo

We study three Type II supergravity solutions holographically dual to codimension-2 supersymmetric defects in -dimensional SU() maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory…

(Iso)spin from Isospin in Top-Down Holography

Marcelo Oyarzo, Ricardo Stuardo

Motivated by the spin from isospin mechanism of Jackiw-Rebbi-Hasenfratz-'t Hooft, we study two SU(2) gauged supergravity solutions of the form containing…

Type II embeddings for Einstein-Maxwell gauged supergravity

Niall T. Macpherson, Ricardo Stuardo

Bi-spinor and G-structure methods are used to classify the possible consistent truncations of type II supergravity to Einstein-Maxwell (gauged) supergravity, and its consiste…

Twisted-Circle Compactifications of SQCD-like Theories and Holography

Niall T. Macpherson, Paul Merrikin, Carlos Nunez +1

We construct and analyse holographic duals to a class of four-dimensional N = 1 SU() SQCD-like theories compactified on a circle with an R-symmetry twist. The setup originates…

Circle compactifications of Minkowski solutions, flux vacua and solitonic branes

Niall T. Macpherson, Paul Merrikin, Ricardo Stuardo

G-structure techniques are used to construct broad classes of circle compactifications of Mink solutions to Mink embedded into type II supergravity for . Un…

A Note on Seiberg Duality for

Adi Armoni, Ricardo Stuardo

We consider SQCD for . We use a brane configuration in type IIA string theory to propose a Seiberg dual. The brane configuration that realises the magnetic theory cont…

Penrose limits of I-branes, twist-compactified D5-branes and spin chains

Marcelo Barbosa, Horatiu Nastase, Carlos Nunez +1

In this paper we consider the Penrose limit in the case of two gravity duals. One of them, consists of compactified I-branes (intersecting sets of D5-branes over dimensions…

Twisted circle compactification of SYM and its Holographic Dual

S. Prem Kumar, Ricardo Stuardo

We consider a compactification of 4D SYM, with gauge group, on a circle with anti-periodic boundary conditions for the fermions. We couple the theory to a c…

Confinement and D5 branes

Carlos Nunez, Marcelo Oyarzo, Ricardo Stuardo

In this work we present new solutions of type IIB supergravity based on wrapped D5 branes. We propose that two of these backgrounds are holographically dual to Quantum Field Theori…

Confinement in dimensions: a holographic perspective from I-branes

Carlos Nunez, Marcelo Oyarzo, Ricardo Stuardo

In this paper we holographically study the strongly coupled dynamics of the field theory on I-branes (D5 branes intersecting on a line). In this regime, the field theory becomes $(…

Dualities of 3D SQCD from Branes and non-SUSY deformations

Adi Armoni, Ricardo Stuardo

We study the dynamics of an 'electric' 3D SQCD theory. By embedding the theory in string theory, we propose that the theory admits a 'm…

Compactification of 6d quivers, 4d SCFTs and their holographic dual Massive IIA backgrounds

Paul Merrikin, Carlos Nunez, Ricardo Stuardo

In this paper we study an infinite family of Massive Type IIA backgrounds that holographically describe the twisted compactification of six-dimensional SCFTs to fo…

Comments on non-Abelian T-duals and their holographic description

Paul Merrikin, Ricardo Stuardo

We present three different Type IIB AdS Supergravity solutions, derived using the electrostatic-like problem formalism which preserves 8 Poincaré Supercharges. Two of these sol…

Comments on single trace and other current-current deformations

Gaston Giribet, Julio Oliva, Ricardo Stuardo

String theory on AdS with NS-NS fluxes admits a solvable irrelevant deformation which is close to the deformation of the dual CFT. This consists of deforming the…

Quasinormal modes and black hole hairs in AdS

Mariano Chernicoff, Gaston Giribet, Julio Oliva +1

Holography relates the quasinormal modes frequencies of AdS black holes to the pole structure of the dual field theory propagator. These modes thus provide the timescale for the ap…

Quadratic gravity and conformally coupled scalar fields

Nicolas Caceres, Jose Figueroa, Julio Oliva +2

We construct black hole solutions in four-dimensional quadratic gravity, supported by a scalar field conformally coupled to quadratic terms in the curvature. The conformal matter L…
