Flowing with Eight Supersymmetries in M-Theory and F-theory
Chethan N. Gowdigere, Nicholas P. Warner
We consider holographic RG flow solutions with eight supersymmetries and study the geometry transverse to the brane. For both M2-branes and for D3-branes in F-theory this leads to…
N=1 Special Geometry, Mixed Hodge Variations and Toric Geometry
W. Lerche, P. Mayr, N. Warner
We study the superpotential of a certain class of N=1 supersymmetric type II compactifications with fluxes and D-branes. We show that it has an important two-dimensional meaning in…
Gauged Supergravity and Holographic Field Theory
Nicholas P. Warner
This is a slightly expanded version of my talk at Future Perspectives in Theoretical Physics and Cosmology, Stephen Hawking's 60th Birthday Worshop. I describe some of the issues t…
Penrose Limits of RG Fixed Points and PP-Waves with Background Fluxes
Richard Corrado, Nick Halmagyi, Kristian D. Kennaway +1
We consider a family of pp-wave solutions of IIB supergravity. This family has a non-trivial, constant 5-form flux, and non-trivial, (light-cone) time-dependent RR and NS-NS 3-form…
Orbifolds and Flows from Gauged Supergravity
Richard Corrado, Murat Gunaydin, Nicholas P. Warner +1
We examine orbifolds of the IIB string via gauged supergravity. For the gravity duals of the A_{n-1} quiver gauge theories, we extract the massless degrees of freedom and assemble…
