Abstract

We find a three-parameter family of solutions to IIB supergravity that corresponds to N=1 supersymmetric holographic RG flows of N=4 supersymmetric Yang Mills theory. This family of solutions allows one to give a mass to a single chiral superfield, and to probe a two-dimensional subspace of the Coulomb branch. In particular, we examine part of the Coulomb branch of the Leigh-Strassler fixed point. We look at the infra-red asymptotics of these flows from the ten-dimensional perspective. We also make general conjectures for the lifting Ansatz of five-dimensional scalar configurations to ten-dimensional tensor gauge fields. Our solution provides a highly non-trivial test of these conjectures.
