$\mathcal{N}=2$ $\,\textrm{CFT}_{3}\textrm{'s}\,$ from $\,\mathcal{N} = 4\,$ gauged supergravity
Abstract
We use holography and four-dimensional gauged supergravity to collect evidence for a large class of interconnected three-dimensional conformal field theories. On the gravity side, we construct a one-parameter family of gaugings of half-maximal supergravity containing a rich structure of AdS solutions at fixed radius. By looking at excitations around these AdS solutions, the spectrum of low lying operators in the dual CFT's is computed and further arranged into supermultiplets. Upon suitable removal of gauge redundancies, we identify the Zamolodchikov metric on the conformal manifold dual to the AdS moduli space, and recover previous results in the S-fold literature. Two special points of supersymmetry enhancement occur. While one describes an S-fold CFT dual to a non-geometric type IIB twisted compactification, the string-theoretic realisation of the other, if any, is still lacking.
