Uplifting GPPZ: A Ten-dimensional Dual of $\mathcal{N}=1^{*}$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-02-08 v4

Abstract

We find a new supersymmetric solution of type IIB supergravity which is the uplift of the GPPZ solution of maximal SO(6)(6) gauged supergravity in five dimensions. This background is expected to be holographically dual to an N=1\mathcal{N}=1^{*} supersymmetric mass deformation of four-dimensional N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM. The ten-dimensional solution is singular in the region corresponding to the IR regime of the dual gauge theory and we discuss the physics of the singularity in some detail.
