M-theory and string theory predict the existence of many six-dimensional SCFTs. In particular, type IIA brane constructions involving NS5-, D6- and D8-branes conjecturally give rise to a very large class of N=(1,0) CFTs in six dimensions.…
We describe a supersymmetric RG flow between conformal fixed points of a two-dimensional quantum field theory as an analytic domain wall solution of the three-dimensional SO(4) x SO(4) gauged supergravity. Its ultraviolet fixed point is an…
Boundary, defect, and interface RG flows, as exemplified by the famous Kondo model, play a significant role in the theory of quantum fields. We study in detail the holographic dual of a non-conformal supersymmetric impurity in the D1/D5…
In this paper we consider finite-temperature holographic RG flows in $D=3$ $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ gauged truncated supergravity coupled to a sigma model with a hyperbolic target space. In the context of the holographic duality, fixed points…
We describe a one-parameter family of new holographic RG flows that start from $AdS_4 \times S^7$ and go to $\widehat{AdS_5} \times {\cal B}_6$, where ${\cal B}_6$ is conformal to a K\"ahler manifold and $\widehat{AdS_5}$ is Poincar\'e…
We present a new BPS flow within minimal $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity in seven dimensions describing a warped $\textrm{AdS}_{3}$ background supported by a "dyonic" profile of the three-form. Furthermore, we discuss the holographic…
We study holographic RG flows in a 3d supergravity model from the side of the dynamical system theory. The gravity equations of motion are reduced to an autonomous dynamical system. Then we find equilibrium points of the system and analyze…
This work, which accompanies [1], is about constructing smooth solutions in type II and eleven dimensional supergravity which describe supersymmetry preserving RG flows from four-dimensional SCFTs in the UV to three-dimensional SQFTs in the…
We study holographic RG flows of N=2 matter couple AdS_3 supergravities which admit both compact and non-compact sigma manifolds. For the compact case the supersymmetric domain wall solution interpolates between a conformal IR region and…
The M-theory lift of N=2 SU(3) x U(1)_R-invariant RG flow via a combinatorical use of the 4-dimensional flow and 11-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations was found previously. By taking the three internal coordinates differently and…
We investigate the emergence of locality in infrared (IR) physics, which indicates an asymmetric renormalization group (RG) flow from a $d$-dimensional ultraviolet (UV) conformal field theory (CFT) to a lower-dimensional IR effective…
We present an explicit study of the holographic renormalization group (RG) in six dimensions using minimal gauged supergravity. By perturbing the theory with the addition of a relevant operator of dimension four one flows to a…
We perform here a critical analysis of some non-supersymmetric gravity solutions in Type 0B string theory. We first consider the most general configuration of parallel N electric and M magnetic D3-branes. The field theory living on their…
We consider holographic RG flows which interpolate between non-trivial ultra-violet (UV) and infra-red (IR) conformal fixed points. We study the ``superpotentials'' which characterize different flows and discuss their expansions near the…
AdS$_7$ solutions of massive type IIA have been classified, and are dual to a large class of six-dimensional $(1,0)$ SCFT's whose tensor branch deformations are described by linear quivers of SU groups. Quivers and AdS vacua depend solely…
We discuss c-functions and their holographic counterpart for two-dimensional field theories with Carrollian conformal fixed points in the UV and the IR. Specifically, we construct asymptotically flat domain wall solutions of…
We study various types of holographic solutions from five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets with $SO(2)\times ISO(3)$ gauge group. This gauged supergravity can be obtained from the maximal gauged…
In this paper we investigate the properties of the putative 5d fixed point theory that should be dual, through the holographic correspondence, to the new supersymmetric AdS(6) solution constructed in Lozano et al. This solution is the…
Type IIB S-folds of the form $\,\textrm{AdS}_{4} \times \textrm{S}^1 \times \textrm{S}^5\,$ are conjectured to correspond to new strongly coupled three-dimensional CFT's on a localised interface of $\,\textrm{SYM}_{4}\,$. In this work we…
We study supersymmetric intersections of NS5-, D6- and D8-branes in type IIA string theory. We focus on the supergravity description of this system and identify a "near horizon" limit in which we recover the recently classified…
