Abstract

A holographic interpretation for some specific Ricci flat string backgrounds of the form A6×C4A_6\times C_4 is proposed. The conjecture is that there is a Four-dimensional Euclidean Conformal Field Theory (ECFT) defined on a codimension two {\em submanifold} of the manifold A6A_6 (where one of the two remaining {\em holographic} coordinates of A6A_6 is timelike, and the other one spacelike), with central charge proportional to the radius of curvature of the six-dimensional manifold, cl4c\sim l^4.
