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…

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-…

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…
