Kaluza-Klein Spectroscopy for the Leigh-Strassler SCFT

High Energy Physics - Theory 2021-05-26 v2

Abstract

We apply recently developed tools from exceptional field theory to calculate the full Kaluza-Klein spectrum of the AdS5_5 Pilch-Warner solution of type IIB supergravity. Through the AdS/CFT correspondence this yields detailed information about the spectrum of protected and unprotected operators of the four-dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 Leigh-Strassler SCFT, in the planar limit. We also calculate explicitly the superconformal index of the SCFT in this limit and show that it agrees precisely with the spectrum of protected operators in the supergravity calculation.
