Wrapped D4-branes from maximal 6D gauged supergravity
Abstract
We study a large class of domain wall solutions with and slices from maximal gauged supergravity in six dimensions. and are given by a Riemann surface and a -manifold with constant curvature while denotes three/two-dimensional Minkowski space. We consider the maximal gauged supergravity with and gauge groups arising from an reduction of seven-dimensional maximal gauged supergravity with and gauge groups. The two types of gauge group can be embedded in type IIA theory via consistent truncations on and , respectively. By performing topological twists on and , we find a number of solutions interpolating between locally flat domain walls in the UV and curved domain walls with and 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 and .
