Marginally deformed AdS/CFT and spindle-like orbifolds
Paul Merrikin
In this thesis, the AdS/CFT correspondence is used as a tool to explore novel AdS Supergravity backgrounds (containing five-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime) and their dual…

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…
