Supersymmetric AdS Solitons and the interconnection of different vacua of N=4 Super Yang-Mills
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We find AdS soliton solutions in 5-dimensional gauged supergravity, obtained
from the S^5 compactification of type IIB, with a dilaton saturating the
Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. The solutions depend on the value of the
periodicity of an S^1 cycle and the boundary values for two U(1) gauge
fields, and give a scalar VEV in the dual field theory. At certain values of
the gauge sources we have supersymmetric solutions, corresponding to
supersymmetric flows, which are a deformation of the Coulomb Branch flow in
N=4 SYM. The solutions parameterize quantum phase transitions between
a discrete spectrum phase, a continuous above a mass gap phase, and a
continuous without a mass gap phase, in 2+1 dimensions. We analyze the phase
diagram in terms of the QFT sources and we find that for every value for them,
there are always two branches of supergravity solutions. We find that these two
branches of solitons correspond to two possible vacua existing in the dual QFT
when fermions are anti-periodic on an S^1. We describe the interconnection of
these states in the QFT at strong 't Hooft coupling in the large N limit. In
10 dimensions, our solutions are related to deformations of D3-brane
distributions.
