Abstract

We study marginal deformations of N=2{\cal N}=2, d=4d=4 long linear quiver CFTs using the holographic description. We find a two-parameter family of AdS5_5 solutions that generically break all of supersymmetry, but preserve N=1{\cal N}=1 for a particular tuning of the parameters. We study the G-structure of the N=2{\cal N}=2 "parent" and the N=1{\cal N}=1 backgrounds and carefully discuss the quantisation of charges in all cases. For the N=1{\cal N}=1 and N=0{\cal N}=0 cases, a picture emerges with "branes" back-reacted on either a spindle or its higher dimensional analogue. Comments on the marginally deformed dual CFTs are given, together with the study of some observables.
