Warped Compactifications and AdS/CFT
Abstract
In this talk we discuss two classes of examples of warped products of AdS spaces in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The first class of examples appears in the construction of dual Type I' string descriptions to five dimensional supersymmetric fixed points with E_{N_f+1} global symmetry. The background is obtained as the near horizon geometry of the D4-D8 brane system in massive Type IIA supergravity. The second class of examples appears when considering the N=2 superconformal theories defined on a 3+1 dimensional hyperplane intersection of two sets of M5 branes. We use the dual string formulations to deduce properties of these field theories.
