Abstract

We study a large class of domain wall solutions with Mkw3×Σ2Mkw_3\times \Sigma^2 and Mkw2×Σ3Mkw_2\times \Sigma^3 slices from maximal gauged supergravity in six dimensions. Σ2\Sigma^2 and Σ3\Sigma^3 are given by a Riemann surface and a 33-manifold with constant curvature while Mkw3,2Mkw_{3,2} denotes three/two-dimensional Minkowski space. We consider the maximal gauged supergravity with CSO(p,q,5pq)CSO(p,q,5-p-q) and CSO(p,q,4pq)R4CSO(p,q,4-p-q)\ltimes \mathbb{R}^4 gauge groups arising from an S1S^1 reduction of seven-dimensional maximal gauged supergravity with CSO(p,q,5pq)CSO(p,q,5-p-q) and CSO(p,q,4pq)CSO(p,q,4-p-q) gauge groups. The two types of gauge group can be embedded in type IIA theory via consistent truncations on Hp,q×R5pqH^{p,q}\times \mathbb{R}^{5-p-q} and Hp,q×R4pq×S1H^{p,q}\times\mathbb{R}^{4-p-q}\times S^1, respectively. By performing topological twists on Σ2\Sigma^2 and Σ3\Sigma^3, we find a number of solutions interpolating between locally flat domain walls in the UV and curved domain walls with Mkw3×Σ2Mkw_3\times \Sigma^2 and Mkw2×Σ3Mkw_2\times \Sigma^3 slices in the IR. Many solutions admit physical IR singularities and can be interpreted as holographic RG flows across dimensions from five-dimensional field theories to three- and two-dimensional non-conformal field theories in the IR. Upon uplifted to type IIA theory, we expect the solutions to describe brane configurations involving D4-branes wrapped on Σ2\Sigma^2 and Σ3\Sigma^3.
