Non-Supersymmetric CS-Matter Theories with Known AdS Duals
We consider three-dimensional conformal field theories living on a stack of N anti-M2 branes at the tip of eight-dimensional supersymmetric cones. The corresponding supergravity solution is obtained by changing sign to the four-form in the Freund...

| description | We consider three-dimensional conformal field theories living on a stack of
N
anti-M2 branes at the tip of eight-dimensional supersymmetric cones. The corresponding supergravity solution is obtained by changing sign to the four-form in the Freund-Rubin solution representing M2 branes (“skew-whiffing” transformation) and it is known to be stable. The existence of these non-supersymmetric, stable field theories, at least in the large
N
limit, is a peculiarity of the
AdS
4
/
CFT
3
correspondence with respect to the usual
AdS
5
/
CFT
4
, and it is worthwhile to study it. We analyze in detail the KK spectrum of the skew-whiffed solution associated with
S

ℤ
k
and we speculate on the natural field content for a candidate non-supersymmetric dual field theory. |
