Abstract

We derive a 2+12+1 dimensional model with unconventional supersymmetry at the boundary of an AdS4{\rm AdS}_4 N\mathcal{N}-extended supergravity, generalizing previous results. The (unconventional) extended supersymmetry of the boundary model is instrumental in describing, within a top-down approach, the electronic properties of graphene-like 2D materials at the two Dirac points, K{\bf K} and K{\bf K}'. The two valleys correspond to the two independent sectors of the OSp(p2)×OSp(q2){\rm OSp}(p|2)\times {\rm OSp}(q|2) boundary model in the p=qp=q case, which are related by a parity transformation. The Semenoff and Haldane-type masses entering the corresponding Dirac equations are identified with the torsion parameters of the substrate in the model.
