N=2 solutions of massive type IIA and their Chern-Simons duals
Michela Petrini, Alberto Zaffaroni
We find explicit AdS4 solutions of massive type IIA with N=2 supersymmetry obtained deforming with a Roman mass the type IIA supersymmetric reduction of the M theory background AdS…
Gravity duals to deformed SYM theories and Generalized Complex Geometry
Ruben Minasian, Michela Petrini, Alberto Zaffaroni
We analyze the supersymmetry conditions for a class of SU(2) structure backgrounds of Type IIB supergravity, corresponding to a specific ansatz for the supersymmetry parameters. Th…
Generalized structures of N=1 vacua
Mariana Graña, Ruben Minasian, Michela Petrini +1
We characterize N=1 vacua of type II theories in terms of generalized complex structure on the internal manifold M. The structure group of T(M) + T*(M) being SU(3) x SU(3) implies…
The Baryonic Branch of Klebanov-Strassler Solution: a Supersymmetric Family of SU(3) Structure Backgrounds
Agostino Butti, Mariana Graña, Ruben Minasian +2
We exhibit a one-parameter family of regular supersymmetric solutions of type IIB theory that interpolates between Klebanov-Strassler (KS) and Maldacena-Nunez (MN). The solution is…
Supersymmetric Backgrounds from Generalized Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Mariana Grana, Ruben Minasian, Michela Petrini +1
We show that the supersymmetry transformations for type II string theories on six-manifolds can be written as differential conditions on a pair of pure spinors, the exponentiated K…
Confinement, Glueballs and Strings from Deformed AdS
Riccardo Apreda, David E. Crooks, Nick Evans +1
We study aspects of confinement in two deformed versions of the AdS/CFT correspondence - the GPPZ dual of N=1* Yang Mills, and the Yang Mills* N=0 dual. Both geometries describe di…
