Cascading RG Flows from New Sasaki-Einstein Manifolds

چکیده
In important recent developments, new Sasaki-Einstein spaces Y p,q and conformal gauge theories dual to AdS5 × Y p,q have been constructed. We consider a stack of N D3-branes and M wrapped D5-branes at the apex of a cone over Y . Replacing the D-branes by their fluxes, we construct asymptotic solutions for all p and q in the form of warped products of the cone and R. We show that they describe cascading RG flows where N decreases logarithmically with the scale. The warp factor, which we determine explicitly, is a function of the radius of the cone and one of the coordinates on Y . We describe the RG cascades in the dual quiver gauge theories, and find an exact agreement between the supergravity and the field theory β-functions. We also discuss certain dibaryon operators and their dual wrapped D3-branes in the conformal case M = 0. December 2004

Warped product and quasi-Einstein metrics
Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...
متن کاملHidden Symmetries of Euclideanised Kerr-NUT-(A)dS Metrics in Certain Scaling Limits
The hidden symmetries of higher dimensional Kerr-NUT-(A)dS metrics are investigated. In certain scaling limits these metrics are related to the Einstein–Sasaki ones. The complete set of Killing–Yano tensors of the Einstein–Sasaki spaces are presented. For this purpose the Killing forms of the Calabi–Yau cone over the Einstein–Sasaki manifold are constructed. Two new Killing forms on Einstein–Sa...
متن کاملConformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
متن کاملCohomogeneity One Einstein-sasaki 5-manifolds
We consider hypersurfaces in Einstein-Sasaki 5-manifolds which are tangent to the characteristic vector field. We introduce evolution equations that can be used to reconstruct the 5-dimensional metric from such a hypersurface, analogous to the (nearly) hypo and half-flat evolution equations in higher dimensions. We use these equations to classify Einstein-Sasaki 5-manifolds of cohomogeneity one...
متن کاملCounting RG flows
Interpreting renormalization group flows as solitons interpolating between different fixed points, we ask various questions that are normally asked in soliton physics but not in renormalization theory. Can one count RG flows? Are there different “topological sectors” for RG flows? What is the moduli space of an RG flow, and how does it compare to familiar moduli spaces of (supersymmetric) dowai...
