Abstract
We find an explicit supergravity background dual to the -deformation of a four-dimensional SCFT on . The solution can be constructed in the five-dimensional gauged supergravity and has a nontrivial self-dual 2-form. When uplifted to type IIB supergravity the background is a deformation of AdS which preserves 16 supercharges. We also discuss generalizations of this solution corresponding to turning on a vacuum expectation value for a scalar operator in the dual SCFT.
