Superconformal Symmetry in the Kaluza-Klein Spectrum of Warped AdS(3)
Johannes Schmude, Orestis Vasilakis
We study the Kaluza-Klein spectrum of warped compactifications of type IIB with five-form flux which are dual to SCFTs in two dimensions. We prove that…
On rigid supersymmetry and notions of holomorphy in five dimensions
Yiwen Pan, Johannes Schmude
We study the equations governing rigid N=1 supersymmetry in five dimensions. If the supersymmetry spinor satisfies a reality condition, these are foliations admitting families of a…
Rigid Supersymmetry from Conformal Supergravity in Five Dimensions
Alessandro Pini, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez, Johannes Schmude
We study the rigid limit of 5d conformal supergravity with minimal supersymmetry on Riemannian manifolds. The necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a solution is…
Supersymmetrizing 5d instanton operators
Diego Rodriguez-Gomez, Johannes Schmude
We construct a supersymmetric version of instanton operators in five-dimensional Yang-Mills theories. This is possible by considering a five-dimensional generalization of the famil…
Partition functions for equivariantly twisted gauge theories on toric Kähler manifolds
Diego Rodriguez-Gomez, Johannes Schmude
We consider supersymmetric pure gauge theories on toric Kähler manifolds, with particular emphasis on . By choosing a vector generating a acti…
Localisation on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds from holomophic functions on the cone
Johannes Schmude
We study super Yang-Mills theories on five-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. Using localisation techniques, we find that the contribution from the vector multiplet to the pert…
Laplace operators on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds
Johannes Schmude
We decompose the de Rham Laplacian on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds as a sum over mostly positive definite terms. An immediate consequence are lower bounds on its spectrum. These bound…
Superconformal Indices and M2-Branes
Richard Eager, Johannes Schmude
We derive the superconformal index of the world-volume theory on M2-branes probing the cone over an arbitrary Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifold. The index is expressed in terms of the…
Superconformal Indices, Sasaki-Einstein Manifolds, and Cyclic Homologies
Richard Eager, Johannes Schmude, Yuji Tachikawa
The superconformal index of the quiver gauge theory dual to type IIB string theory on the product of an arbitrary smooth Sasaki-Einstein manifold with five-dimensional AdS space is…
On supersymmetry breaking three-form flux on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds
Johannes Schmude
Studying nonsupersymmetric yet imaginary self-dual three-form fluxes in type IIB supergravity backgrounds on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds we find a new analytic solution that restores…
Comments on the distinction between color- and flavor-branes and new D3-D7 solutions with eight supercharges
Johannes Schmude
We investigate the distinction between color- and flavor-branes, that is usually made in the context of gauge/string duality with backreacting flavors. Our remarks are based on a s…
The lift of type IIA supergravity with D6 sources: M-theory with torsion
Jerome Gaillard, Johannes Schmude
This paper is concerned with an extension of the well known Kaluza-Klein mechanism. As the standard ansatz for Kaluza-Klein reduction implies the existence of a gauge potential ass…
A note on backreacting flavors from calibrated geometry
Johannes Schmude
One of the main problems in the search for string duals with backreacting, smeared flavors is the construction of a suitable source density. We review how this issue may be address…
On the geometry of string duals with backreacting flavors
Jerome Gaillard, Johannes Schmude
Making use of generalized calibrated geometry and G-structures we put the problem of finding string-duals with smeared backreacting flavor branes in a more mathematical setting. Th…
The quark-gluon plasma and D6-branes on the conifold
Johannes Schmude
We investigate the possibility of constructing a supergravity background dual to the quark-gluon plasma using D6-branes wrapping a three-cycle in the deformed conifold. The UV-comp…
