Supergravity Duals for N=2 Gauge Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct supergravity solutions for Dp-branes at orbifold points. The solutions are written in terms of a single function, which is the solution to a nonlinear differential equation. The near horizon limits of these solutions are dual, in the AdS/CFT sense, to super-Yang-Mills theories with 8 supercharges in various dimensions. In particular, we present a dual to N = 2 SU(N) SYM theory in 3+1 dimensions, and analyse some aspects of the duality. e-mail address: [email protected]

Supergravity duals of supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories
This article contains an overview of some recent attempts at understanding supergravity and string duals of four dimensional gauge theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the general philosophy underlying the various ways to realize Super YangMills theories in terms of systems of branes. We then review some of the existing duals for N = 2 and N = 1 theories. We also discuss differ...
متن کاملGauge Theories and Systems with Fractional Branes
We analyse the Seiberg Witten curve describing the N = 2 gauge theory dual to the supergravity solution with fractional branes. Emphasis is given to those aspects that are related to stringy mechanism known as the enhançon. We also compare our results with the features of the supergravity duals, which have been variously interpreted in the literature. Known aspects of the N = 2 gauge theories s...
متن کاملGauge/gravity correspondence in accelerating universe
We discuss time-dependent backgrounds of type IIB supergravity realizing gravitation duals of gauge theories formulated in de Sitter space-time as a tool of embedding de Sitter in a supergravity. We show that only the gravitational duals to non-conformal gauge theories are sensitive to a specific value of a Hubble parameter. We consider two nontrivial solutions of this type: a gravity dual to s...
متن کاملSupergravity M5-branes wrapped on Riemann surfaces and their QFT duals
We find solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity for M5-branes wrapped on Riemann surfaces. These solutions preserve N = 2 fourdimensional supersymmetry. They are dual to N = 2 gauge theories, including non-conformal field theories. We work out the case of N = 2 Yang-Mills in detail.

متن کاملString Tensions and Three Dimensional Confining Gauge Theories
In the context of gauge/gravity duality, we try to understand better the proposed duality between the fractional D2-brane supergravity solutions of (Nucl. Phys. B 606 (2001) 18, hep-th/0101096) and a confining 2+ 1 dimensional gauge theory. Based on the similarities between this fractional D2-brane solution and D3-brane supergravity solutions with more firmly established gauge theory duals, we ...
