Wrapped M5-branes, consistent truncations and AdS/CMT

Published 20 Sep 2010 in hep-th | (1009.3805v2)

Abstract: At the level of the bosonic fields, we construct consistent Kaluza--Klein reductions of D=11 supergravity on $\Sigma_3\times S4$, where $\Sigma_3=H3/\Gamma,S3/\Gamma$ or $R3/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a discrete group of isometries. The result is the bosonic content of an N=2 D=4 gauged supergravity with a single vector multiplet and two hypermultiplets, whose scalar fields parametrise $SU(1,1)/U(1)\times G_{2(2)}/SO(4)$. %, and the gauging is only in the hypermultiplet When $\Sigma_3=H3/\Gamma$ the D=4 theory has an $AdS_4$ vacuum which uplifts to the known supersymmetric $AdS_4\times H3/\Gamma\times S4$ solution of D=11 supergravity that describes the N=2 $d=3$ SCFT arising when M5-branes wrap SLag 3-cycles $H3/\Gamma$ in Calabi-Yau three-folds. We use the KK reduction for $\Sigma_3=H3/\Gamma$ to construct D=11 black hole solutions that describe these d=3 SCFTs at finite temperature and charge density and show that there is a superconducting instability involving a charged scalar field, and another instability involving involving neutral fields including both scalar and vector fields. We also use this KK reduction to construct a D=11 Lifshitz solution that is dual to a d=3 field theory with dynamical exponent $z\sim 39$.
