Abstract

In this paper we construct a new Type IIB background with an AdS4AdS_4 factor that preserves N=4{\cal N}=4 Supersymmetry. This solution is obtained using a non-Abelian T-duality transformation on the Type IIA reduction of the AdS4×S7AdS_4\times S^7 background. We interpret our configuration as a patch of a more general background with localised sources, dual to the renormalisation fixed point of a Tρρ^(SU(N))T_{\rho}^{\hat{\rho}} (SU(N)) quiver field theory. This relates explicitly the AdS4AdS_4 geometry to a D3-D5-NS5 brane intersection, illuminating what seems to be a more general phenomenon, relating AdSp+1AdS_{p+1} backgrounds generated by non-Abelian T-duality to Dp-D(p+2)-NS5 branes intersections.
