Flowing to $\mathcal{N}=3$ Chern--Simons-matter theory
Abstract
New renormalisation group flows of three-dimensional Chern--Simons theories with a single gauge group and adjoint matter are found holographically. These RG flows have an infrared fixed point given by a CFT with supersymmetry and flavour symmetry. The ultraviolet fixed point is again described by a CFT with either and symmetry or and symmetry. The gauge/gravity duals of these RG flows are constructed as domain-wall solutions of a gauged supergravity model in four dimensions that enjoys an embedding into massive IIA supergravity. A concrete RG flow that brings a mass deformation of the CFT into the CFT at low energies is described in detail.
